A New Collector in NYC

Last year I did a number of small watercolor gesture drawings as I tried to loosen up and capture the essence of the pose without worrying about detail or accuracy. It was a good exercise for me and I really liked the result of the figures hanging together in my studio. Fortunately for me, a British collector who also lives in Manhattan loved them too and wanted to purchase all of them. They were framed in two sets of 9 and will hang in her brand new luxury condo on the west side of Manhattan. I called them Gestura I and II.

“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.”
