This big career step for the northern based artist comes following a
monumental year in 2022 which saw two of her artworks featuring HM
Queen Elizabeth II go viral, before a third Royal themed piece
featuring Emma the pony and two of Her Majesty’s corgis reach £32,000
at a charity auction last November. Eleanor’s sudden worldwide fame
and demand for her artwork has led to this opportunity to offer a more
central venue for admirers to view and buy her work whilst she works
from her studio in rural East Yorkshire.
The artist plans to host various in person creative events at Soukra,
bringing her two greatest passions (art and food) together to create
exclusive experiences and workshop days with the help from Andrew
Eborn President of Octopus TV and Hamdi Abid and Sanj Nandi of Soukra.

“I believe everyone has a creative side, it just needs to be encouraged and nurtured. Creativity can take form in so many ways but it’s through play and experimentation whilst having the support and encouragement to do this that everyone’s hidden flare can come to the surface. My workshops promote bringing out the best in everyone’s abilities, no matter their past experience.”
Spaces available for this first exclusive London workshop launch at Soukra O2.
The first workshop takes place only a month before the coronation of
King Charles III. Eleanor released her eagerly anticipated piece,
‘Coronation Capers’, only last month in London receiving worldwide
media coverage. The newly revealed piece is set from the balcony of Buckingham Palace, with a backdrop of The Queen Victoria Memorial, cheering crowds,
parades and the skyline of London. The alternative view of the
infamous Buckingham Palace balcony, The Mall and London is overwhelmed
by the artist’s quirky addition of Jack Russells, King Charles
Cavaliers and Corgis. A fun and amusing take on what will be the day’s
events and key figures come May 6th 2023. Amongst this fun scene are
many smaller, subtle, symbolic additions purposely placed by Eleanor
to include certain Royal family members no longer with us and the past
events of last year within the artwork.
The big reveal of the celebratory artwork, ‘Coronation Capers’, came
ahead of the artist’s eagerly anticipated new collection launch on
26th March 2023. ‘Coronation Capers’ will form the main basis of ‘The
Coronation Collection’, made up of signed limited edition prints, open
edition prints, stationery, gifts, homeware and other products. A
range of these will also be available at Soukra within Eleanor’s
gallery spaces.
Eleanor is an award-winning artist and illustrator based near South
Cave, East Yorkshire, UK. She has been selling her artworks and taking
on commissions since her mid-teens. Working predominantly in ink and
watercolour, her work has always been inspired by her home amongst the
Yorkshire countryside and the animals and rural life which surrounds
her. Three years after graduating from York St Johns University with a
First Class honours degree in Illustration, Eleanor became globally
known for creating a piece of art for HM Queen Elizabeth II’s Platinum
jubilee known as ‘Jubilee Ma’amalade Tea’. Later that year, other
tribute pieces produced following HM Queen Elizabeth’s sad passing
achieved similar recognition. Eleanor has developed these original
pieces into greetings cards, stationery, print, homeware ranges and
other products. A serendipitous meeting, brought about by a BBC
Platinum Jubilee news story, has resulted in renowned international
lawyer, strategic business adviser and broadcaster, Andrew Eborn,
President of Octopus TV Ltd, working with Eleanor to maximise
international opportunities and develop a global brand.
For many years Andrew Eborn has empowered companies to face the
challenges of changing markets, maximise the return on their rights as
well as assisting with the strategic development of their businesses.
Andrew Eborn, who has been instrumental in growing many major brands
commented “I am thrilled to be working with Eleanor reviewing the
various opportunities including from international licensing. Together
we intend to develop a global brand, building on the success of
Eleanor’s work to date, whilst protecting Eleanor’s artistic rights
and integrity. I very much look forward to hearing from anyone
interested in exploring the exciting licensing opportunities.”
