About Me
- Name: Eileen Hale
- Location: Grass Valley, California, United States
January 2007, updated July 2023: I am a baby-boomer artist with Northern California roots, back in Northern California at last, living on unceded land of the Nisenan. We moved here from L.A. in the summer of 2003. I was a farmer wannabe, and I have kept chickens (illegal L.A. chickens!), as well as cats, rabbits, mice, rats, a guinea pig; a dog; and now, two cats. I volunteered for several years for our county shelter, walking dogs, and later spent time walking llamas. I spent four years learning Mountain Maidu (one of three related languages of this area's indigenous peoples) as part of Farrell Cunningham's classes. I have retired from doing animal portraits, on commission, and my own website is still waiting for me to set it up. I have moved more intensively into my personal painting work: a mix of figurative (especially animals) with abstract expressionism, surreal elements, and dream imagery. My Painting a Day Blog (you may be looking at it; if not, see Links) is now up and running, as well as an Art Blog (you might, alternatively, be looking at this) with works-in-progress!!
