As a Niagara Falls, NY, native artist, Eileen Kineke grew up around one of the most breathtaking natural wonders. She is constantly in awe of nature, and does her best to replicate it in her work. Eileen works primarily in paints and mixed media. In addition to nature, her subjects include architecture, animals, and people—painted realistically with a touch of whimsy. She’s a mom, wife, sister, daughter, and freelance community psychologist who is currently pursuing a career shift into Art Education. Art has always been her favorite form of self care, and she loves to share it with others via Painting with Spirit social art events. Her studio, Brave Spirit Arts, is located at the Niagara Arts and Cultural Center where she offers classes, originals, prints, invitations, crafts, and commissions.
