Eileen Guerrero Mateus is a Colombian Illustrator based in New York City. Heavily influenced by her memories from early childhood in Colombia, fairy tales, space, nature, and the odd, she tells various personal and unique messages in their art.

 

Eileen obtained her BFA in Illustration from the Fashion Institute of Technology in 2022. While in their time at the FIT, Eileen’s passion for children’s books, picture books and storytelling grew. This ignited a desire to create works that captive audiences of all ages, from adults to children, evoking the spirit of their inner child.

 

Being Colombian and an immigrant is a significant part of Eileen’s identity, offering a unique perspective and symbolism into the worlds that she creates within her artworks.

 

Beyond the studio, Eileen works as the Assistant Director of Member Services at One River School Hartsdale, where she bridges the gap between art education and community engagement. In this leadership role, she manages the full student experience—from driving enrollment and managing school operations.
