Eileen Cooper RA is an English contemporary painter and print-maker, who makes stylised paintings of women or couples, often featuring unexpected animals (particularly a tiger). She was born in Glossop, Derbyshire, studied at Goldsmiths College, London from 1971 to 1974 and the Royal College of Art, London from 1974 to 1977. Cooper was elected to the Royal Academy on 24 May 2001, and in 2011 she became the first woman to be elected Keeper at the Royal Academy.(HERE)
The figure of a woman is central to Eileen Cooper's imagery: heroine, goddess of myth, mother, lover. Her strong drawing with fluid simplified lines and colourful compositions make her work immediately recognisable. Her style invokes Picasso and Chagall as well as the Mughal miniatures she admires.

ASTROLOGY
Natal chart set for 12 noon - time of birth unknown.
Eileen Cooper, born 10 June 1953 in Glossop, UK.
I've included a natal chart for reference but haven't attempted any interpretation out of respect, as Ms Cooper is still around, still painting, and not a very public figure, as are others whose natal charts are frequently investigated by astrologers. Instead I've chosen three of her paintings to include here:
 |
| Bathing |
 |
| Promise |
 |
| Boy Dreaming of his Manhood |
