Animals by Eileen Schaer
Eileen Schaer is a self-taught contemporary visual artist and painter whose artistic career spans nearly 50 years. Her magical paintings depict Eileen’s unique imagination of dreamlike worlds and intriguing characters. At first glance, her paintings would appear childlike but it is precisely this quality of innocence and spontaneity that her admirers and collectors like so much.
She has worked and exhibited consistently all her adult life and has worked in many private and public collections. She has been represented in numerous mixed thematic exhibitions in academic, commercial, and public galleries in such diverse locations such as India, Switzerland, London, and Liverpool.
Eileen hails from Liverpool where she was born, raised, and educated. After meeting her husband, the late artist and teacher David Fletcher, they lived in London for a number of years before eventually deciding to move to the Isle of Man in 1975.
Continuing their life on the Isle of Man, David moved on to becoming a Course Leader for the Arts Foundation Course at the IOM College for many years. Together with their two children, they lived next door to the Laxey Woollen Mills surrounded by the distinctive sound of a rookery nearby which these birds have often been featured in Eileen’s work. Being an aesthete couple, Eileen and David became very active and a positive presence within the Manx contemporary art scene by inspiring, exhibiting, and promoting the work of generations of young Manx students and graduates.

The third stamp (£1.54) is ‘Moonlight’. With its yellow moon and dream-like cool blue light, the image features seagulls resting and night is clearly evoked. The lady rowing the boat is accompanied by her steadfast canine companion in a very unlikely if dependable-looking brick-patterned and riveted boat. The narrative content is reminiscent of the famous story of The Owl and The Pussycat, an imaginative voyage of dreamlike discovery and friendship.
