Eva M.V. Hewitt (b. 2001) is an award-winning Fine Artist based in Glasgow.  Eva’s practice explores the tension between earthly and ethereal elements, creating detailed figurative compositions. With residencies at The Prado Museum, Madrid, and accolades like The Richard Ford Award, she is fast becoming a name to watch in contemporary Scottish art.

 

Having achieved both her Undergraduate and Master’s Fine Art degrees at The Glasgow School of Art, she was an artist in residence at The Prado Museum, Madrid in Autumn 2024, before winning The Richard Ford Award. Additional accolades include The Steven Campbell Hunt Medal 2023 for “Poetic Creativity”.

Hewitt is a proud member of the inaugural cohort of The Scottish Contemporary Collective – a pioneering initiative providing a platform for Scottish artists. Following the official launch of the collective in Tighnabruaich Gallery in Summer 2025, the artists will be tutored and guided by a wide variety of experienced mentors. This will develop and strengthen their professional practice, providing them with the skillset required for commercial success.
