Eva Koleva Timothy
To Bless, to Glorify: Growing Our Gifts with God
Raised behind the Iron Curtain, Eva Koleva Timothy learned early on to internalize a sense of creative freedom and enthusiasm in a very bleak and oppressive environment. EVA KOLEVA TIMOTHY grew up under the shadow of Communism in Eastern Europe. Under the tutelage of her artist father she learned to cherish the pursuit of personal passion and the freedom to view the world for its possibilities.
She was one of the first converts in Bulgaria, joining the church soon after the Berlin wall fell. Her love of the gospel and of freedom are both major themes in her art.
Her art has been featured in various church curriculum and publications including The Liahona, Come Follow Me, Seminary/Institute Manuals and Preach My Gospel.
Eva is known to possess an abundance of enthusiasm for life. She loves art for its inherent power to focus, refine, and inspire. Eva hosts a weekly podcast enLIGHTen and also speaks regularly on the power of nurturing creativity in our lives.
Eva’s work has been exhibited by and collected at various institutions including The Smithsonian National Museum of American History, the Museum of Fine Arts Houston and Oxford University. (www.evatimothy.com) And is a Licentiate of the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain,
