A Hudson Valley native and multimedia artist, Eileen MacAvery’s work explores our relationships with memories, family, community, spirituality, nature, and the environment. The interaction of these elements, and their sometimes unlikely pairing, is what interests her. A life-long yogi, she teaches yoga locally and leads walking movement and meditation workshops along with sketching classes.

Eileen, currently an art instructor at SUNY Rockland Community College, has over three decades of expertise as an artist, graphic designer, and art educator. Her extensive portfolio includes roles as sole artist, photographer, video editor, author, and designer, with a focus on creating multi-disciplinary projects. Among her works are "Her Six Word Story," "Familiar Places, Liminal Spaces," "LoveSense," "The Ghosts We Live With," "East End Stories," "Teacup Secrets," and “The Afterlife.” She is a Fulbright Scholar and has received grants from the New York State Council on the Arts (NYSCA).
