ELEANOR LANAHAN attended art school in Rhode Island, and has lived in Vermont for the past 35
years.
After spending three decades doing commercial illustrations for the
dairy and ski industry, for many children's books and guide books, she wrote
Scottie, The Daughter of... , a biography published by
Harper Collins in 1995. That project led to an art book on Zelda Fitzgerald,
"Zelda, An Illustrated Life", published by Harry Abrams Inc. in 1996.
Her interest in combining writing and painting led naturally to the making of
an animated movie, The Naked Hitch-Hiker (Winner of the Goldstone Award, 2006 VIFF). Since
then the film has been screened at many festivals world-wide and won several
awards.
