About Me
Irish born Artist working between London and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
My work is a reflection of nature’s raw beauty, infused with vibrant colours of the sea and the ever changing movement of the world around me.
I am self-taught, painting instinctively. I create pieces of work capturing my mood and emotion rather than structural technique, personalising each one. No two paintings are the same, each one a unique piece. I don’t always work things out before I start, and if I do, it can change as I go along. Maybe I start with colour, but that can also change. Nothing leaves my studio until I am satisfied, I put a lot of time and energy into making sure the work is unencumbered, with complicated narrative.

I do not over explain my process, I do not follow trends or fashion, I focus on breathing life in the painting letting the work speak for itself.
My greatest joy is receiving messages from people saying how my painting makes them feel, bringing some light to their lives. A painting has to live with them for a long time, it’s important to me it resonates with them in some way and contributes to their mood in an uplifting way.
The connection I have made with clients all over the world is humbling and sometimes incomprehensible and encourages me to continue exploring colour, and shapes influenced by nature space and movement.

"I can honestly say
that waking up to them in my
bedroom starts each day with a
little smile. One of the paintings in
particular moves me so much
that I cried when I first saw it
because something within it
really connected with me deeply.
All of her work has the most
beautiful colour. She is, in my
opinion, the GOAT when it comes
to making colours which are alive,
unique, visceral, and, at times,
unexpected. Her seascapes in
particular are magnificent and
emotive, drawing you in to lose
yourself in the view. Beautiful
textural work, bold and moving.
Love love love!
I am lucky enough to be the
owner of two paintings by Eleanor Mcknight"
