 “I enjoy creating art and continue to search for creative growth I my artwork.
I love to be able to explore and experiment while creating. I am constantly searching for ways to express myself through my work. Landscapes have become my passion. Beauty can be found I nature and can lead one on a path
to enlightenment and pleasure.”
-ARTIST STATEMENT
For over twenty years, Eleanor Neal has been creating stunning paintings and
prints that have found their way into private and public collections both here and abroad. Inspired by nature, her travels, and recently beckoned by the raw
splendor of the Deer Isle in Maine where she spent a summer at the Haystack School of Crafts, she has found her artistic voice as a landscape artist. She
masterfully utilizes the techniques of creating the illusion of deep space with stunning effect, inviting us not just to enter the world she has recreated for us, but to engage in a full sensory experience.
She enhanced her printmaking techniques under the tutelage of the late John
T. Scott who taught her the process of making wax monoprints and she was awarded the Elizabeth Catlett Printmaking Award in the Hampton University Museum’s “New Power Generation” juried exhibition, 2008.
Eleanor Neal graduated from Indiana University with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Fine Art and a Master’s of Science Degree in Art Education. She currently splits her time between teaching and creating art.
