Eva was born in Paris, France in 1963 and grew up on the beautiful island of Corsica, her family’s original home. She returned to Paris in 1979 to study at the School of Fashion Design. A year later she enrolled at the University of Wisconsin and spent the next four years in Oshkosh, training as an Art metallist with emphasis on black and white photography. She spent 1985-86 back in France, studying painting at the Art Deco School of Nice.
Eva moved to Moorea in 1987 with her husband, Thierry Frachon, and their twin children. Over the years she has participated in several art exhibits in Tahiti and Moorea.
Soon after she settled in Moorea, Eva began a new career in Tahiti’s cultured pearl industry. She first worked with Jean-Claude Brouillet, one of the Tahiti Black Pearl pioneers, starting in pearl sales, eventually becoming a trader.
