Eleanor Hughes
Eleanor Hughes' paintings are a composite of experiences in several cultures and a passion for the decorative aspects of nature. She received her BFA at the University of Georgia, studied in Spain, attended Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture, and continued graduate work at the Instituto Allende in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico. In 1981, she opened Tropico, a design studio and storefront specializing in fine art and hand-painted fabrics. Eleanor moved to Santa Fe, New Mexico in 1987 and continued painting in oil. She currently lives again in St. Augustine and continues to work expressively in her representational painting.

She has exhibited in Atlanta; Soho, New York; throughout Florida; Santa Fe, New Mexico; Washington, D.C.; Southern Maryland.

Artist’s Statement
“I’m not interested in painting in a photorealistic way, but as an emotional response to what I see.
In my figurative work I want to convey a story or
a feeling.”
