Portfolios – Fine Art

I specialize in realistic, fine art treasures, portraits, wildlife art, and fantasy art, Celtic knotwork, and abstract minimalist art.  My primary mediums include colored pencil, ink, and oil paint.  Examples of my past work are displayed in these galleries.

Realistic Animal Art Portfolio

My animal art evolved out of a deep desire to convey far more than just a pretty drawing of an animal. I seek to give the viewer pause, to stop and think, and gain a glimpse into the spirit or soul of the subject.

Minimalist and Abstract Art Portfolio

My goal in creating minimalist art is to convey a complete image, with movement and life, in the fewest strokes possible.

Title: Celtic Meerkats, Artist: Sidney Eileen, Medium: pen and marker on paper

Celtic Knotwork Portfolio

My Celtic knotwork is based primarily on the Irish illuminated manuscripts of the middle ages and archaeological finds from the middle ages through the bronze age. They are all unique, original designs.

SCA Regalia

These are regalia pieces I have made for the SCA, members of the SCA, or other medieval reenactors, created using fine art media like acrylic paint, oil paint, or silk paint. Most of them are paintings, intended to be displayed or used in some way as regalia for medieval reenactment.

Miniature Paintings Portfolio

These are miniature, delicately detailed works of art. They usually adorn wearable items like pendants, or functional objects.

Title: Requiem, Artist: Sidney Eileen, Medium: ink on watercolor paper

Steampunk Art Portfolio

My steampunk art is my own interpretation of creating new from old inspirations.

Technical Illustrations Portfolio

This gallery contains examples of my technical illustrations of archaeological artifacts. My goal in creating technical illustrations is to illustrate details of the artifacts which are difficult to capture with a photograph, such as emphasizing decorative details and surface texture, or visually describing the contours of the objects.
