Hello, I am Eileen Backman, and I am rediscovering my inner artist. I have spent my life in various professions -- preschool teacher, program director for a psychiatric treatment facility, fitness instructor and paralegal for my soulmate and love of my life, attorney husband. I am a proud mother of a soon to be 19 year old who is a sophomore at his University, and my recent empty nest is starting to be filled by my passion for art.
I have always loved drawing in pencil, but in recent years have discovered the joy of drawing and painting with ink, as well as watercolor, I am drawn to a variety of subject matter, and seem to move through 'phases' where I focus on one subject area or one medium for a while, before I move on to something else.
I also have started creating digit art -- mostly celebrity portraits and abstract designs. I love the freedom of being able to create art where ever me and my I-Pad Pro happen to be --- with no brushes to wash!
In July 2020, I started selling my original work in a local art gallery, in my current hometown of Bloomington, Illinois. I decided to use this forum to sell prints to reach more people, and showcase more of the variety of my art ... and to continue to be inspired by the amazing artwork of so many talented artists that are selling here.
If you are interested in the original of any of the works posted here, please contact me.
Thank you for having me ... the amount of incredible art on this site is so inspiring! I hope you enjoy my work!
