A native of North Carolina, Eleanor earned a BFA in the visual arts from the University of North Carolina Chapel Hill. Her early work was more abstract and conceptual. As an undergraduate, she exhibited her work at the Ackland Museum and the Mint Museum in Charlotte.
She feels privileged to have studied with Susan Sarback, Peggi Kroll Roberts, John Ebersberger, Mary Gilkerson, and other inspiring artists. She describes her work as "most influenced by the Hawthorne-Hensche principle," an approach of seeing and painting color and light in an impressionistic way. She is an associate member of the American Impressionist Society, and belongs to the Arts Council of Carteret County, Coastal Carolina Plein Air Painters, and North Carolina Plein Air Painters. She also has served on the board of Carolina Artists Gallery in Morehead City, NC, for years. |
" I am a Coastal Carolina Colorist, inspired by what nature provides and loving the practice of continuing to study and progress as a painter in the oil and pastel mediums." |
