Eloise’s rustic pieces have the classic beauty and style of antiques. Her works on canvas include landscapes from areas near Lake Martin and floral bouquets picked from the Alabama countryside. She also paints on old wood, combining history with art, as she incorporates antique jewelry, tools, hats, musical instruments or frames into her creations. Eloise has been featured in Lee Magazine and Sunshine Artist Magazine as well as in newspapers and on television. She won the Most Original Art Award from the Society of Arts and Crafts in 2008 and will be the featured artist in September 2009.

Eloise enjoys the history of old structures and accepts commissions that send her on hunts for what she calls “ARTique.” She recently researched the typical 1800’s pharmacy for a board member of the Alabama Pharmacy Association. The painting was displayed at their state meeting this past June. Other Eloise originals can be found at several galleries and stores, including Red Hill Gallery at Lake Martin, Harrison Brothers in Huntsville, Romeo’s in Chattanooga, and The Downtown Antique Mall in Opelika.

An educator herself, Eloise was one of the illustrators for the I Can Say That book, winner of the Early Language Literacy Award. Eloise teaches Art Appreciation at Southern Union State Community College.

EXHIBIT WILL BE ON DISPLAY THROUGH THE END OF SEPTEMBER.
