Eva Kubbos was born in Lithuania and arrived in Australia in 1953. She studied at the Berlin Applied Arts School and later at the Royal Melbourne Technical College and Swinburne Technical College in Melbourne. Her early career was in commercial graphics until she moved to Sydney in 1960, where she was influenced by fellow Lithuanian artist Henry Salkauskas and began creating abstract expressionist watercolors. Kubbos has won numerous watercolor prizes, including the Art Gallery of New South Wales Trustees’ Prize for Watercolour and the John and Elisabeth Newham Pring Memorial Prize. Her work is held in many public, corporate, and private collections worldwide, including the Australian National Gallery, all state galleries in Australia, and the National Art Gallery in Vilnius, Lithuania. Kubbos is a member of the Australian Watercolour Institute and has been a member of several other art associations.
