Biography:

Eileen grew up on a cattle ranch in the Cascade Mountains of Northern California. She painted her first oil painting at age 13.  In college she majored in science, but never lost sight of her love for painting.

"My paintings reflect of the underlying excitement I feel as I paint.  Nature gives me an inner joy that is profoundly spiritual.  I want to convey this passion to my viewers; so scenes like these will be preserved to enrich our lives in the future.”
