Based Out Of: Woodstock, New York

Bio:
Eileen Power’s path to becoming an artist was circuitous. Born and raised in New York City to immigrant parents, she long believed she was an artist but pursued other careers before transitioning to art full-time in 2016 after leaving a marketing role. She moved to Woodstock, NY, to study at the Woodstock School of Art and build an artistic community.

Her practice spans painting, printmaking, and sculpture made from everyday and discarded objects, which she transforms and animates in unexpected ways. She is drawn to upcycling and reimagining materials that others might overlook or discard.

Power’s work has been exhibited widely, including at the Phoenicia Festival of the Arts (2024), the Woodstock Byrdcliffe Sculpture Show (2025 Biennial), Kaatsbaan Cultural Park sculpture exhibitions (2021–2022), the Kingston Design Showhouse (2020), and the “Shelter” exhibition curated by Melinda Stickney-Gibson (2023). She has received the Robert Angeloch Printmaking Award (2021) and the Nicholas Buhalis Award (2024) from the Woodstock Artists Association and Museum. Her work is held in collections across the United States and Europe.
