Presented by Eileen Slifer. Eileen studied Art and Community/Family services at the University of Delaware, graduating with a B.S. in Home Economics in 1986. She started her art business in 1989 after the birth of her first son, because she loved doing creative work and wanted to earn money from home while raising and homeschooling her children. Starting with small calligraphy projects and invitation addressing, she gradually built and expanded products/services in the areas of calligraphy, caricature drawing and illustrative/fine arts over the years. Eileen is a fine artist/illustrator and originally a native of Newark, Delaware – where she was born, raised and lived until 2012 when she relocated to Decatur, Alabama for about eight years. She came back north in 2020 and now permanently resides in East Berlin, Pennsylvania.
