Eleanor Gilpatrick's first career was as professor at the School of Health Sciences, Hunter College, City University of New York (CUNY). She had won prizes for painting and draftsmanship in high school and at the Educational Alliance in New York City, but chose to study the social sciences in college and graduate school. She eventually became an expert in health care policy and human resources, authored four books (listed on Amazon.com), directed a masters program in health services administration, and pioneered courses in critical thinking and writing. Her second career is as a contemporary realist painter. She paints landscapes, figural works, and still lifes that capture fragments of the world that arrest the viewer in terms of composition, color, and content, including paintings about peace issues. Working in acrylic on canvas, a modern colorist, she expresses an affirmation of life with a hint of the solitary. She has had solo shows in Manhattan; and has been in over 35 juried shows; her work is in over 70 private collections. See less
