Eve Aschheim (b. 1958) is an abstract painter and draftsperson whose work explores movement, perception and the instability of visual space. Born in New York City, Aschheim spent portions of her childhood in California and Singapore. She earned a B.A. in 1984 from the University of California, Berkeley, and an M.F.A. 1987 from the University of California, Davis. At Davis, she studied within an influential community of artists that included Wayne Thiebaud, Robert Arneson, Mike Henderson, Squeak Carnwath and Harvey Himelfarb. Aschheim builds her compositions through intersecting lines, geometric fragments, erasures and layered marks that appear to shift between formation and dissolution. She has also experimented with photograms, using light to extend her investigations of drawing. Aschheim has taught at Princeton University since 1991 and directed its Visual Arts Program from 2003 to 2007. Her work is held in major collections including the Museum of Modern Art, National Gallery of Art and Yale University Art Gallery.
