Bio
Evie Harra is an artist who practices and lives in San Francisco. She has been painting and drawing since she could hold a paintbrush and has been exploring herself and her artistic interests since adolescence. Evie earned her BA in Art History from Sonoma State University and her MA in Visual and Critical Studies from California College of the Arts. She is currently working at the Institute of Contemporary Arts San Francisco.
Evie Harra is a synesthete who lives in overwhelming color. She paints cityscapes and urban spaces reflecting her colorful feelings about the spaces we occupy everyday, from Bart station exits to Muni rides. This action of painting her synesthetic perceptions also acts as a coping mechanism, promoting emotional regulation through color expression. She needs to ‘get out her colors’ as a version of color therapy. Evie’s art practice establishes fruitful connections with non-neurodivergent folks to spread awareness for neurodivergence and synesthesia.
