Eva-Lynn (Evie) Loy is an artist, expressive art therapist and teacher. After teaching Elementary School, she returned to school to become an expressive art therapist. In 1997, Evie created and implemented a full-time expressive art therapy program at an alternative elementary school in Lynn, Massachusetts. Since moving to the beautiful Monadnock region of New Hampshire in 2004, Evie's passion for creating art was, happily, reignited. Her artistic vision often reflects an image with new colors that show the spirit of the subject rather than how it might, actually, appear. Her paintings have appeared in national and regional juried shows, as well as local exhibits. Her paintings are part of private collections from the east to west coasts.
