Eileen Greenwood – Born 1917 – 2014 England

Greenwood studied at the Royal Collage of Art, Courtaulds Institute and Goldsmiths Collage.

She has had numerous solo exhibitions throughout the UK and overseas and her work is represented in several private collections in Gt Britain, America, and Australia. She is a fellow of the Royal Society of Painters and etchers.
