About Eileen

Mixed media artist Eileen Fineran (Marsha Eileen Fineran-Ritter) is a native of Minnesota. She grew up in Owatonna with a love for art and interior design. Fineran nurtured her interest in design with a degree in Interior Design, which she developed into a successful career of 20-plus years.  Recently she has made the bold move to Sarasota Florida to pursue her passion for art as a full time career.

Strong relationships in the art community further developed and sparked her creative interests. Through early tutoring in oil painting, which advanced into classes in mixed media, she found her passion for contemporary acrylic and mixed media.

The art of Eileen Fineran brings her background in interior design into her artwork. Always keeping in mind balance, color, texture and scale, her commissioned pieces coordinate with the styles, fabrics and finishes of clients’ homes. Her goal for commissioned pieces is to create artwork that enhances not only the look of the environment in which the art is displayed, but also the lives of the people who enjoy the space.
