Eileen T. Wold has exhibited her work at a number of venues and has established a large portfolio of private clientele and supporters. She has worked with a range of fine arts organizations as both an artist and an educator. Wold earned her B.A. in Studio Art and Art History from Loyola College in Maryland and studied for one year at the Art Academy of Leuven, Belgium. She is currently pursuing her MFA at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore.

Wold has exhibited her work at New York galleries such as Artists Space, Art Gotham, BlueSky Gallery, Gallery 402, Silver Whale Gallery and Tribute Art Gallery. She has also shown and donated her work to outreach initiatives such as StreetWise Partners in NYC and BARC Animal Shelter in Brooklyn. Her previous outreach includes working with The Children's National Medical Center in Washington, DC, speaking to college students at Loyola College about working as an artist and giving talks on African Art to public schools in Maryland as well as teaching art at The Kreeger Museum in Washington, DC.

Wold was the artist-in-residence at The Terence Cardinal Cooke Health Care Center in New York City in 2005 and works as an artist for The Creative Center in Chelsea and The Kreeger Museum in Washington, DC. She was featured in the Dogwood Journal and three of Wold's landscapes are published in Parks Portrayed in Pen and Paint, a book that brings art and poetry together to explore the beauty and mystery of the National Parks in America.

Wold's works have explored themes in landscape, ranging from the subtle properties of the horizon line to the industrial atmosphere of the American smokestack. Wold uses sketches, notes and photographs to convey not only the details of a scene, but also her experience of it. Fascinated with the changing views of our landscape and environment over time and how our idea of landscape changes based on technology and industrial progress, Wold explores the duality in modern industrial imagery of the smokestack and the many layers that coexist within these structures.
