STATEMENT
A white canvas is an absence; an emptiness that needs to be filled with passion, life and a soul.
Sometimes the life is a simple vase, the passion the contrast of shadows and lights, and the soul a flower
fallen from the vase. However simple or complex the subject – like a life well lived – the canvas should
feel complete when the painting is finished.
BIOGRAPHY
Eileen Tetreault LeDoux, an internationally exhibited and widely collected artist, was born of French
parents in Rhode Island, USA.
Exhibiting talent at an early age, and encouraged by her father, a professional musician, Eileen pursued a
career in the arts. After attending the Rhode Island School of Design, she set off to discover her roots in
France; painting the scenes she had known so well through stories and postcards. Now with a taste of the
colors and style of both New England and France, Eileen was eager to expand her palette.
Over the next 30 years, her travels took her to Martinique and Tortola, where she incorporated the brilliant
tropical colors into her paintings, and Costa Rica where she gained an understanding and appreciation for
the awe-inspiring power of nature. “Looking out over the expanse of the ocean, or over the top of a
mountain you realize what a small role you play on this earth – it’s a constant inspiration to appreciate
every moment you have and to take a step back and take it all in,” says Eileen. “When I paint a
landscape, I’m trying to capture that moment of beauty.”
