Saturday evening, as Liz D. and I drove around beautiful Montauk—on the very tip of Long Island—we ended up at Driftwood Alley Gallery, run by Sag Harbor artist Tony Servideo, overlooking the scenic shores of Fort Pond, where I had the pleasure of 
meeting Liz's new friend, artist Eileen Hickey-Hulme.It's no secret why this woman is making waves in the art world. First, there's a playful glint in her eye—an obvious lust for life—in addition to an innate sense of style and astute magnetism that all great "entertainers" possess. Add to that her chops: a Bachelor of Fine Arts from NYC's Hunter College and 35 years working in the city as a fine-art painter.
Her paintings feature quite a novel imprint—created from nail polish, eyeshadow and lipstick. Get that one? Eileen's works have been shown across the city and in East Hampton and Amagansett, N.Y. She is also an associate with her husband John's architectural firm in Tribeca, where she has lived for the past 30 years. Oh, did I mention that she is just fabulous, inviting and warm and embracing of all around her?
Among mixed media...
