Eleanor Doran

Eleanor’s mixed-media work is a commentary on the contemporary urban scene. On the street, its people and the places they frequent. On architecture, publicity, text and graffiti. She draws inspiration from the debate surrounding urban design; what makes a city work.
Photography forms the structural base of each piece onto which more traditional artist mediums are layered.
A formation in Fine Art (BFA, Concordia University, Montréal), ten years in advertising, and a passion for travel have all left their mark.
Eleanor’s pieces have been featured in major Canadian lifestyle magazines including the cover of Canadian House and Home Magazine (May 2010). She has been consistently represented and has shown independently for over 20 years. Her work is part of private and corporate collections in Canada, U.S.A. and Europe.

Bachelor Fine Art, Concordia University, Montréal. Major in painting.
Studied under Irene Whittome (printmaking), Yves Gaucher (painting), Guido Molinari (painting).
