Eva Leo

She spent a few months studying art with Wilhelm Groß (de), a wood sculptor in Eden near Oranienburg.

In the summer of 1937, she met and befriended Paul Leo in an exhibit of religious art in the Neustädter Church in Hanover.

They discovered that they would not be allowed to marry in Holland because of its status as a neutral country and the fact that their marriage would be illegal in Germany.

In 1943 they moved to Texas where Paul ministered to congregations consisting of third and fourth generation German immigrants, first in Karnes City and later in Cave Creek and Crabapple.

From 1960 until her death in 1998, her art consisted of reliefs for doors, altars, processional crosses, grave markers, and wall decorations.
