Eleanor Rose Stamp

About the Artist

Eleanor’s childhood was spent in the depths of Norfolk surrounded by horses and dogs and growing up with an enduring love of animals.

After studying Fine Art and Psychology she spent a decade in the pressurized world of advertising as a TV producer in London. However, her creative thoughts were always yearning for the open skies, space, light and wildlife of her home county and in 2020 she moved back to focus on painting and drawing.

With a lifelong relationship with animals to inform and inspire her, she aims to capture their reality, their beauty, their strength and character; to reveal an intimate moment in their lives.

Eleanor is especially passionate about horses and often quotes the words of Ronald Duncan:”Where in the wide world can a person find nobility without pride, friendship without envy or beauty without vanity? Here where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined…. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent, there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.”

So much of those qualities can be found in these paintings and drawings: Eleanor’s deep understanding and knowledge or The Horse imbue her work with exceptional power.
