about
Hello, I’m Eleanor.
I am an artist based in Manchester.
My work is inspired by the world around me, whether it be an everyday still life scene close to home or a scene from places more exotic, that I’ve travelled to.
I primarily use Gouache and Acrylic paint.
Originally from Manchester, I moved to Sheffield to study Illustration at Sheffield Institute of Arts.

The Summer Diaries
I've always kept a diary for as long as I can remember. I enjoy reflecting on my day, or looking back on my week. It really is cathartic for me.
so please enjoy a snippet into my summer.
enjoy ( it's a quick read )
