Artist Bio: Eleni McGinty

Hi there, welcome to my artwork page here on Gallery 247. 

I am an artist based in country Victoria, Australia, and my work is inspired by gardens as I love being in them and I have grown more than 100 organic roses for 20 plus years. My daily walks with my kelpie, Marley, and my husband Peter’s photography spark ideas for my acrylic and mixed-media paintings, which blend Impressionist influences with expressive brushwork.

As a lifelong learner, I continue to take part in and run workshops. Mine are called Art Circle and they are aimed at beginner artists and are very relaxed and friendly. I hope to offer online sessions very soon. My creativity is also shaped by my love of gardening, cooking, sewing, and my training in Interior Design and Feng Shui.

Creating paintings brings me deep joy—a realisation that took years to emerge. I may dream of a colour palette or scene and capture it in a quick sketch. Art is high on my priority list, an intuitive and energetic process that supports my search for inner peace, calm, and happiness after years of balancing full-time work, raising children, and caring for family. I believe art can help people smile, breathe, and relax.

I look forward to connecting with you! Eleni
