Watch a mural come to life as painter, illustrator, and sculptor Eleanor James continues work on her “Love and War” collection, an art installation that focuses on love and warmth through times of uncertainty. Using the mediums of acrylic paints, watercolors, inks, and spray paints, Eleanor’s work captures the beauty and pain of the world, with compositions tying together a love for nature with the challenges of life.
Born in Birmingham, England, Eleanor emigrated to the United States with her family and one trunk with their life’s belongings. From working as a gardener in her younger years to a landscape architect by trade, she has always brought the elements of art and nature together. Eleanor is a self-taught artist who works out of her home near the Manasquan Reservoir and out of a studio at Galerie Lucida in Red Bank, New Jersey.
