Biography
Eleanor May Watson (b.1990, UK) is a visual artist whose practice explores domestic interiors in which to contemplate memory, longing, desire and belonging. They have become an escape: a refuge in colour and the endless potential of the materiality of paint. Eleanor is drawn to moments where the image is just arriving, or conversely submerging. Eleanor lives and works in Kent, England.
