Eleanor Cowell studied Fine Art at The University of Leeds, and is currently studying on a part time Masters at City and Guilds Art School. After two years living, working and studying in Spain she has worked as an assistant for multiple high profile Artists, and has held a plethora of creative based roles. Whilst developing her practice, she also has a keen interest in the wellness benefits of creativity, and offers arts wellness sessions aimed at encouraging mindfulness through making. She is currently based in London.

 

Her practice explores the notion of presence in a post-internet world. As boundaries between online and offline experiences are become increasingly blurred. She creates painted abstract landscapes that combine colourful imagined spaces with found objects, dreams and memories. Her process begins with plein-air drawing, taking the rhythms and sensations of the physical world to inspire a new abstract space. These layered images are surreal, yet explore spiritual, personal, societal and environmental ideas. 

 

I combine traditional painting methods with surreal elements created using design software, photography, meditation, printing processes and sculptural materials. The visceral process of creating the works informs their outcome, and each piece becomes an individual exploration of that specific present moment.

​

She also loves to run, bake, and be outside!
