Drew Eilers is a Canadian born artist. Drew attended art college in Toronto where he studied drawing, design and animation.

As a contemporary expressionist painter Drew mainly works in acrylic mediums on mid to large scale canvases. His passion for art has been greatly influenced by the abstract expressionist movement of the 1950's and 60's. From a personal aesthetic point of view, His visual approach is influenced by such luminaries as Pollock, DeKooning, Basquiat and contemporary painters such as Baselitz and Richter.

Drew approaches the canvas with a bold gestural method, Using robust brush strokes and expressive, extemporaneous mark making. This results in a spontaneous, improvisational process which gives his work a sense of emotion and expressive rhythm.

Drew has had solo exhibitions and has sold pieces to collectors in both Canada and the United States. He currently resides in Calgary, Canada.

Growing up I always had a pencil and paper in hand. Drawing and painting were a preoccupation of mine. Art was my favorite subject in school.

In later years while pursuing a professional career I was always drawn to an art outlet of sorts to satisfy my creative desires.

I explored pottery, sculpture, drawing, painting and jewelry design and fabrication.

More recently, after retiring from a lengthy working profession I decided to refocus my energies on my art interests. I discovered mixed media, collage and assemblage.

I understood immediately this medium would allow me to investigate and express my inner creativity.

My other passions include golfing, gardening, cooking, knitting and hiking with family and my little Westie Lexie.
