She preferred her art work to stay in Ireland. For this reason, many churches in Ireland have stained glass windows by Evie Hone e.g. the Catholic Church in Howth, the chapel at Clongowes Wood School, the Chapel in Blackrock College Dubin, and the Catholic Church at Adara in Donegal.
Evie was also a well known cubist painter.
