Eileen Oswald
Eileen Oswald, was born in Edmonton, Alberta and has lived in Saskatoon and Calgary before moving to Mississauga, Ontario. This explains her love for the wide open skies and mountains.
She is a self-motivated, passionate artist who has been painting in oils, encaustic, pastels (both soft and oil), various water media and printmaking.

Known as a progressive painter, Eileen is open to exploring different techniques and enjoys the freedom to choose whichever medium might be best suited for the varied subjects that interest her. She has a Fine Arts Certificate from Sheridan College and has consistently expanded her studies with many accomplished International and Canadian teachers.
