For six years while attending school in the United states she concentrated in black and white photography, spending her nights in the darkroom and her days taking photographs. During this time she was commissioned for various publications in Wisconsin Art Magazine. Although dedicated to photography it lacked the direct physical sensations she longed for and so, for two years, she explored her fascination for metals and jewelry until she returned to France in 1985.

At the "Arts Décoratifs de Nice" school, she resumed painting, working at first in black and white ink, reminiscent of her photographic compositions. Slowly, as she felt the importance and seriousness of her attraction to colors she began to explore using soft pastels. Shy and intimidated, she waited until she could no longer postpone the journey into the world of color, which she now inhabits.

Eva Driot has exhibited in Wisconsin, in French Polynesia, and France; she is now concentrating on acrylics, using canvas support. She lives in Moorea, French Polynesia, where she enjoys all the tropical vibrant colors, the bright light. Although not always depicting the tropics directly, her paintings are bathed by the tropical influence. ..."
