About
Eileen Platt is a lifelong artist and mother of two adult children.
Eileen started drawing again with renewed passion after the heart attack of her daughter. It was, as she said, the way she kept her balance. The fearful seriousness of the situation was offset by the humor in her drawings and the plaudits she received from her friends and family.
She continues to draw scenes from her own life as well as documenting her daughter’s progress. The “senior” aspect of her work are riffs on the personal and the social, finding the merriment in the mundane.
They are open and honest and everyone can relate. Even those who, as yet, do not find themselves in the variously serious, frustrating, amusing predicaments she experiences as a senior.
These drawings speak for a generation that does not have a voice.
