About the Author/Artist
Artist Eileen Bone started drawing and painting with oils at age 7. Never with out a pencil/crayons in her hand, small pictures are still on the underside of her grandma’s coffee table, because at times, drawing paper was scarce. Lucky enough to have a professional artist neighbor, her talents were nurtured through her childhood years. It was at the University of San Francisco when she discovered the “Principles of Perspective in Architecture” and became fascinated with historical architecture. After relocating to Carlyle from St. Louis in 1971 she had an “aah ha” moment that expanded her love of historical architecture and history in a new way. She began painting the historic places around the town she now considered her own. Although never formally trained as an artist, over the years she has created over a hundred paintings, mostly watercolors and acrylic that are most impressive. Besides painting, she also has created works in papier mache and bone, wood and stone carvings. Bone has been exhibiting her work in both private and public shows since the 1970s and her work is in collections all across the U.S.
