The Eva McKee art works consist of block-printed cards and sketches of jewelry designs, as well as examples of her craftwork on leather, wood, ceramics, and metal. Items include a wallet, a purse, two small dishes, a pin, a letter opener, and a deck of playing cards. All the materials demonstrate McKee's use of Celtic Revivial motifs in a distinctly Irish Arts and Crafts style.
