Eleanor Stride:
"Relationships"
by her parents, Jeffery and Sally Stride; two devoted and internationally recognized landscape
painters. Eleanor's passion for sculpture led her from art school in England to the Institut Nationale
des Arts in Bamako, Mali and to the Accademia di Belle Arti in Bologna, Italy where she studied for
five years. Then the Greek National Academy invited her to spend a year in Athens as an Erasmus
Scholar. She was awarded her MFA in 2008 after a further two years study as a scholarship student at
the New York Studio School. Eleanor has a passion for making art out of the everyday life
that surrounds her. Her present work is based on subway scenes of New York and features sculptures and
reliefs in terracotta, plaster, fiberglass and resin. The collection of reliefs focuses on the relationships
of the human figure to an urban or subterranean environment in an effort to combine the subject
matter with the abstract values of sculptural form.
