About the Artist

Right from a very early age art has always been a favourite, and over the years Eileen has enrolled in various art courses, including life, design and still life studies. Since retiring she has been fortunate to be able to spend more time on her art work work and her other passion - patchwork and quilting. In 1998 she and her husband started up an art group with a small number artists who meet at their house twice a month. Each year they hold a charity art and craft exhibition (see exhibition page) from which the members donate part of their proceeds to a nominated charity. Since 1988 Eileen has also been a Regional Co-ordinator for the Society of All Artists.

About my Art:

"In recent years most of my work has been commissions, mainly PET and and ANIMAL PORTRAITS, which are a favourite of mine. I will work from clear, detailed photographs which enable me to capture the expressions and personality of the animal.

When commissioned to paint a pet portrait I first of all do a complete pencil study which enables me to get to know my subject. I then transfer that to canvas and usually work up the painting using oils. I also do portraits in pastels.
My other interests are people portraits, flowers or floral paintings and landscape".

A brochure is available for further information on pet or people portraits.

Stay awhile and check out my FEATHER PAINTINGS. Not very often seen in the UK, feather painting has its origins in USA where the American Indians still paint using this technique.

Like any other artist, I appreciate any feedback regarding my art work and hope you will take a minute or two to send in your comments.
