Eileen Power’s path to becoming an artist was a circuitous one. She was born and raised in New York City to immigrant parents. Though art was not a part of her education, she always believed she was an artist. It simply wasn’t possible to be one full time before having an alternate career.

After an interesting career in marketing, Eileen was finally able to leave the business environment to pursue art. In 2016, Eileen moved from New York City to Woodstock, NY to study at the Woodstock School of Art.

In her home studio, she has been creating art made from everyday objects, animating them in unusual ways. She enjoys upcycling things that others might discard into art.

Her sculptures have been exhibited at The Phoenicia Festival of the Arts, Kaatsbaan Cultural Park, the Kingston Design Showhouse, the “Shelter” exhibition curated by Melinda Stickney-Gibson for the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild, and the biennial Woodstock Byrdcliffe Guild Sculpture show at S.C.A.P.E. Sculpture Park, curated by Linda Dubilier and Jen Dragon. Eileen received the Robert Angeloch Printmaking Award from the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in 2021 and the Nicholas Buhalis Award for Weaving the Woven, from the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum in 2024. Her works are held in collections from New York to California and in Europe.
