For Eileen, as a child growing up outside of Boston, dinnertime conversation was a blend of her mother articulating the evolution of her family’s needs and her father sharing updates from the scientific community regarding the testing of properties, production, and purification of metals. Her sculptures are the result of the rich blend of nature and science from those conversations with her mother and father. Eileen received her BA in Sculpture and Art Education from Indiana University. That education taught her the know-how, practical training, and an understanding of what it means to be a professional artist. However, she will say it was by trial and error, discovery and the unknown from which she honed her talent and skill. By experimenting her way through a plethora of techniques and materials, Eileen was able to land on her realized current desire to create large-scale sculptures.Eileen’s statement on the surface, is that she constructs abstract art at its most imaginable. However, her creations also have an underlying subtext of human-like characteristics, breathing entities with thought-provoking motion and seeming illusion of bodily contours. Eileen’s use of material, rattan reed (cane), wax, and current liquid rubber, are absent of trendy qualities, making way for the inventive, imaginative, unusual, and one-of-a-kind.Eileen’s work has appeared in numerous private, corporate, and museum exhibitions across the country, and she is collected by many high-profile corporations and individuals.
