Item Description

Eileen Stodut (New Rochelle)  

As an artist Eileen Stodut responds to life and its emotional stimuli through the use of color and shape. She tries to capture the vanishing moments, the visuals layering of time, the pleasure of life through the creative use of imagery. Stodut is drawn to the beauty and expressiveness of the gentle juxtaposition of the real with the unreal. She is fascinated with the not so obvious narrative the underlying tone of it. She hopes to expand the experience of the viewer with excitement of color and all its vividness and variation of shapes. Stodut likes to paint from Life experience and has a love of the outdoors, painting whenever feasible outside. She strives to photograph moments in time so that she can use them as her reference library. Eileen is fascinated with light and how it changes its subject matter in the progress of time. Through the use of oils and acrylic or watercolors depending on her subject matter and what she thinks will help in expressing that moment. Stodut has always been a working artist, starting as a colorist and a textile artist, then expanding as a scenic and a set and costume designer, wearing many hats in the theatre. The theater has always been one of her loves.  Presently Stoudt is teaching fine art and digital animation in the Bronx at Saint Philip Neri School and private lessons in her studio at ArtsWestchester. She is a commission artist and because of her theater experience works on large scale murals. When she paints she pours her love and hope for life, for the very fragile moments that disappear in a twinkling of an eye onto the canvas.
