Chloe McEldowney makes vibrant oil paintings unifying fragments of gardens, memories, and sentiments in unique color palettes, while reflecting on her roles as painter and mother. Her expressive style draws from a decade-long art career spent painting live portraits, teaching printmaking and painting workshops, and working in galleries.
