Artist - Eileen Dorsey

An award winning artist, Eileen has shown her work in several regional galleries including Baldwin Wallace University's Fawick Gallery, Butler Institute of Art, Cuyahoga Community College Gallery West, and Corcoran Fine Arts & Appraisals. Quickly making a name for herself, this young artist was awarded First Place from the 12th Annual National Arts Program Exhibit (2011). Later that year, Dorsey participated in a month long artist residency at the prestigious Vermont Studio Center. In 2012 she was awarded Best of Show and First Place from the 13th Annual National Arts Program Exhibit.
Her work can be found in the collections of: The Cuyahoga County Administration Building, Kaplan Trucking Co., Southwest General Hospital, and University Hospital's Case Medical Center. Eileen's rich color palette and robust surfaces have been sought out by not only private, but public commissions as well. Her experience exhibiting has lead her on a new creative venture as an independent curator; her first major show, “Scape”, exhibited at Baldwin Wallace University in 2015.

Eileen Dorsey's expressive landscape paintings can be seen during the 78th Street Studios monthly "Third Friday" art walks. Her studio is located on the first floor in Suite 105. "Landscapes are my vehicle for expressing texture and color, punctuated with aggressive and expressive painting techniques. With a palette that changes for each painting, I make a point to challenge myself with color combinations."

Eileen is a graduate of Kent State University with a Bachelors in Fine Arts and presently resides/works in Cleveland, Ohio's Gordon Square Arts District.
