Artist BIO:
Eleanor Woolley was born on the Island of Jersey, and moved to Gloucestershire where she was drawn to the outdoors, always taking walks in the landscape. Her first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls where she started painting in Oils at thirteen years old. Here she learnt to paint using classic oil painting techniques, and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. During this period she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and with Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed her technique and composition. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture at Leeds University Eleanor travelled for some time in Asia before coming home to study Furniture making. Eleanor worked as a Cabinet maker and a Restorer before returning to Fine Art painting.
Eleanor’s inspiration is taken from her surroundings where she has a love for the every day things, often passed by without a second thought.
Eleanor’s paintings are vibrant, often painted Plein air and finished in the studio. Starting with bold outlines, many layers of paint are used to create the depth of colour. Her paintings are spontaneous, using washes of oil to create the desired form. Often finishing with a palette knife producing a pleasing texture.
Her current work is inspired by the landscape of the Cotswolds, and contrasted with long shadows created by figures in urban landscapes.

Eleanor Woolley
Eleanor Woolley was born in the Channel Island of Jersey and moved to Gloucestershire, where she was drawn to the outdoors, always taking walks in the landscape. Woolley's first true love for painting came from an inspirational Art teacher at the Haberdashers Monmouth School for Girls. During this period, she was fortunate enough to work under Mary Fedden in her studio and Portrait Sculptor Peter Lambda with whom she further developed the technique and composition. Woolley learned to paint using classic oil painting techniques and was drawn to the figure from early life drawing lessons. After gaining her BA Hons in Sculpture, Woolley studied Furniture making and worked as a Cabinet Maker before returning to fine art painting. Woolley is influenced by the work of Painter Frank Brangwyn, and his representations of the human form. Woolley still lives in her childhood home in Gloucestershire, surrounded by the countryside and people she loves to paint.

Visione Mistica, original 36x48 contemporary landscape
By Dmitri Wright
Located in Spring Lake, NJ
Visione Mistica, Mystical Vision, is an introspective, contemporary, original oil painting reminiscent of the 1960s, resplendent with explosive colors and imagery that commands both attention and consideration. The 36x48 scale of the dynamic landscape, combined with the magical reds, could carry any neutral room that's calling for a pop of joy and color! The artist has gallery wrapped this contemporary work of art on a stretcher with a 1.5" return to keep a transitional, open feeling throughout the painting. Alternately, it could be framed if you prefer a larger overall size for your space. Artist Dmitri Wright is the Director of the Weir Farm National Historic Site Art Academy where he teaches art in addition to teaching at the venerable Florence Griswold...
