Hi, my name is Eileen. I started printmaking in late 2019 and quickly became enamoured with the process. Trickled throughout my work are themes of nature, folklore, myth and strong female characters. With a BA in Classics, I have a special interest in ancient cultures and religions. Being Irish, Celtic history often presents itself within my work.
Although printmaking is a recent endeavour, I have been a traditional artist long before then focusing on graphite work, primarily portraiture. Lino cuts forced me to simplify my work and challenged me to create dimensional pieces with limited tonal values.
I’ve always been attracted to highly ornate and intricate design so I create with sharp attention to detail (which can be a blessing and a curse!). Also, the visual power of symbols and symmetry intrigues me.
I hope to continue to hone my printmaking skills and branch out into other methods like screen printing in the future. Hope you enjoy my work!
