While Eleanor Voorhees’ continues to paint bucolic local scenes of the New Hope and Lambertville area, its her most recent urban inspired mixed media work that is getting the most attention. Wanting something more out of her art and the desire to evolve has brought her art to a new level. She describes this transformation as more than just an artistic breakthrough, she refers to it as her midlife epiphany. Drawing from boxes of vintage flea market jewelry, buttons, clothespins, wires, cocktail swivel sticks, fabric and more she literally builds using texture to create three dimensional cityscapes. Many of her newer mixed media pieces are then painted entirely in oil upon the surface of the mixed media materials creating a three dimensional painting, a little world that invites the viewer to dwell.
