Eileen Shaloum enjoys working with a variety of subjects. Despite her varied interests, she inevitably comes back to the human figure, whether in oil or acrylic paintings, mixed media, or wood sculpture. Her humanistic approach creates work that represents the powerful connections people have with one another, friendships, families, couples, mother/child.

In her paintings, the bonds people share can be seen as heads leaning towards one another, hands, arms and legs that touch or entwine, or with just a look. Her mixed media collage/paintings express her profound interest in the sorrow and heartbreak that families, particularly women and children, have to endure in our poorest and most war-torn nations as well as situations that occur even in more "civilized" places around the world. Some of her pieces show people going into or out of windows as a means of escaping the troubles that consume them.

She has exhibited in galleries, group and one woman shows in New York and Florida during the past three decades. She has won many awards and is in several private collections.
