ABOUT THE ARTIST:
The artist was born in Barranquitas, Puerto Rico. Her colorful paintings pay homage to her homeland and express the vibrant culture and atmosphere of the Caribbean. Picturesque landscapes, tropical birds and flowers, musical instruments, and farmers tending to their fields are brought to life with harmonious colors and bold compositions. Eileen’s distinctive personal style emana
tes joy and peace. She tells viewers, “I am a story teller and I welcome you to join me on this visual journey.”
As a child Eileen received prizes for her natural talent to create three dimensional drawings. From a young age she has believed, “You can create anything once you see it in your mind." That innate perspective led to obtaining a Bachelor of Science in Architecture from Florida A & M University in 1998 and Master of Landscape Architecture and Urban Planning from Florida State University in 2000 -- with honors. Eileen’s artwork has been shown in exhibitions in Puerto Rico and the U.S. Her art work will be included in "Dreams and Visions: The Artist Perspective", an exhibition at Spring Studios Art Gallery, Houston, Texas, in July, 2015. She will be a juror in “The Many Faces of Mary Magdalene” in Houston, Texas, in July, 2015. An exhibition titled "Los Tres Reyes Magos" (Three wise men) will feature her paintings of different types of kings, in Houston, Texas, in December 2015. Her art work is featured in the invitational Manhattan Arts International Artists Showcase Gallery, a curated art program that rewards artistic excellence, in New York, N.Y. Eileen is the recipient of three Second Place Awards, from the Amando Falcon Studio Gallery.
