Eileen has always loved art and has fond memories of creating at a very young age. Her drawings and paintings are often eclectic, and she enjoys bringing this diversity to her teaching through a variety of methods and techniques that she has learned and continues to explore. Eileen considers it a privilege to have the opportunity to teach and share her passion with students of all ages and varying skill levels.

She studied at the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts, which is known for its historic tradition and reputation for classical formal drawing and figurative painting methods. Eileen later earned an MFA degree in Painting from Savannah College of Art. Since 1992, she has taught numerous college-level courses in Foundations (2D Design & Color Theory) as well as Introductory and Advanced courses in Drawing, Life Drawing, Oil Painting, and Watercolor. Her teaching experience includes institutions such as Savannah College of Art and Design, St. Louis University, and the New Hampshire Institute of Art (now New England College) since 2002. Currently, she has been with the Visual Arts Department at NHTI Concord Community College for several years.

Eileen has led numerous art workshops in both community and college venues, including NHIA Continuing Education, Art Educator Workshops and Certificate Programs, the Currier Museum, and Kimball Jenkins. She has also served as a juror for several NH Scholastic Awards and various local art exhibitions over the years.

Understanding that taking a class in something new can be intimidating for some, Eileen believes that anyone can learn the basics. She maintains that skills such as sketching, drawing, painting, and practiced observation not only enhance one’s intelligence but also enrich one’s enjoyment of life. Attending a class, in her view, is an excellent way to accelerate this process while providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with others.
