Eileen Panepinto

Eileen Panepinto is a mixed-media artist, painter and collagist who received her BFA with honors in painting from the School of Visual Arts in NYC. Eileen moved from NYC to CT in 1993 where she found the Connecticut countryside to be an inspiration to her and her work. My work centers around creating abstract and semi-abstract expressions of experiences, places, and states of mind through mixed-media constructions, collages, paintings, and drawings. Inspired by a range of subjects, I aim to capture their essence using a visual language I have developed over time. I strive to offer fresh and evocative imagery that engages the viewer’s imagination. My approach to painting has naturally evolved from my work with collages and constructions, though painting allows me to dive deeper into the medium, exploring new methods and finding fresh ways to express ideas. It offers me the space to create atmospheres that represent specific subjects or mental states. My compositions are rarely planned in advance; rather, they develop organically through the creative process.
