Eve Fowler (b. 1964) is an American artist based in Los Angeles, primarily known for her photography and text-based works. She received her BA in Journalism from Temple in 1986, and her MFA in photography from Yale in 1992. Fowler's work has been included in group exhibitions at the Museum of Modern Art, Hammer Museum, Yerba Buena Center, and San Francisco Museum of Art.

Works
Some of Fowler's more recognized work includes her series of texts appropriating Gertrude Stein's poetry, and her portraits of male hustlers in New York and Los Angeles in the 90s. Identifying as a lesbian and feminist, Fowler's work tries to identify what she perceives as male biases in language and culture and reframe them around sex-positive, feminist, and queered images.

“Shared Women”, February - April 2007
A group exhibition hosted by the Los Angeles Contemporary Exhibitions (LACE), featuring Fowler's filmworks alongside with the works of feminist artists A.L. Steiner and Emily Roysdon. Emphasis was placed on themes such as cronyism, feminism, nepotism, elements of reaffirmation that depended on the reorganization of history from portraying ‘the women’ and ‘the gays,’ as outsiders to now insiders.
