Evelyn Politzer was born in Montevideo, Uruguay, now lives and works in Miami, Florida.
Politzer is a visual artist communicating through yarn, thread and fabric. Using traditional textile techniques like knitting, weaving and embroidery, she creates small two dimensional tapestries to monumental sculptural forms.
Working with wool yarn was only natural in her native country, where the number of sheep far exceeds the number of inhabitants.
In addition to the beauty, fragility, and interconnection with nature; womanhood and motherhood are recurring concepts in her work.
After attending law school in Montevideo, and moving to the United States, Politzer received an MFA in Visual Arts ( 2021), from Miami International University of Art and Design. She is a 2020 recipient of the Ellies Creator Award by Oolitearts.org.
Evelyn's art practice has evolved outside of her studio, co-founding FAMA-Fiber Artists Miami Association- at the beginning of the pandemic. FAMA has now almost 300 members; with the mission to educate and advance fiber arts as a contemporary art form.
