Eileen has been interested in art as long as she can remember. Over the years she has taken instruction in both oil and pastel, but did not seriously become involved until she moved from Reno, Nevada to Florence in 1989.
In Florence she was introduced to watercolor by Jean Eliot. She started taking classes and workshops whenever possible. She has been fortunate to have attended many workshops given by accomplished artists.
Eileen tells us, "Those who have had the most influence on my work and have been both instructor and friends are Susan Weathers and Katheryn Davis."
