Painter. Born UK ( 1975). Lives and works in Oxfordshire.
Illustration to Fine Art
Eleanor graduated in Illustration from Manchester in 1998. After a decade Illustrating in London and represented by Folio Illustration agency, she felt a persistent pull toward Fine Art. This pivotal shift coincided with the beautiful chaos of raising three children, each becoming a wellspring of inspiration. Her work began to embody the untamed essence of childhood - loose, imaginative, and liberated from grown-up rules - marking the commencement of a new artistic chapter. Passionate and deeply connected to her art, Eleanor explores themes of authenticity, connection, and childhood.
