Small Works on Paper

My passions in art mainly lean towards abstract and figurative work. It makes sense then that I find myself feeling the need to blend the two. Not an easy task! I am starting with small works on paper as I experiment with texture and technique. The plan is to eventually work up to large oil or acrylic paintings that are filled with movement and energy. I believe that my fascination with texture and color from the urban environment in which I live as well as the influence of nature, which I am always aware of, find a way into my expressive work.

This piece called Turning Point is currently on view at the Citigroup Building in Long Island City, NY. Acrylic on paper, 8 x 6 inches, 20.3 x 15.2cm. To see more visit my website or Facebook page.

“As a Feng Shui consultant and integrative designer, I look for specific representation and metaphor in artwork. The first time I saw a piece of Eleanor’s work, [Fluid State] I was struck first by its movement, which can be very effective in energizing a particular area of one’s life or business if it is placed prescriptively. The other aspect which I found potent, is her use of color. Color interprets the ‘five elements’ or what is referred to as ‘agents of change’ in feng shui. 'Fluid State' is primarily whites and blues - the metal and water elements. Metal represents virtue, communication, joy and creativity. Water is associated with wisdom, one’s path in life and finances. I immediately thought I love this piece and what a powerful adjustment it would make for my client.”
