            Leith Eaton, American-born impressionist, and the founder of Scintillism, an evolutionary school of Impressionist art, began her art career through the medium of three-dimensional design. Her solo exhibit, currently at the US Senate Russell Rotunda in Washington, DC, March 8-19, 2004, features seventeen paintings that depict her interpretation of the natural beauty and grandeur of the American countryside.
            In this stunning new art form, Eaton creates on canvas a thick-painted surface topography that is modulated and tonally graded to achieve a greater spatial dimension for her subjects. Critic and art historian at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and the United Nations, Dr. Jasna Pervan Huertley, wrote "Leith is an innovative artist who has created a new trend...her masterful technique compliments and enhances her exciting subject matter...vivid layers of colors...enhanced reality..an almost sculptured effect.... Scintillism...'sculptured impressionism'."
            Leith has had many museum and solo exhibitions and tours. Her works and commissions are found in the collections of: President George Bush, Frank Sinatra, Paulina duPont Dean, Prince Michel de Yougouslavie, Lilly Pulitzer, Clint Eastwood, Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Elizabeth Taylor, Bob Hope, and Congresswoman Mary Bono. The exhibit plans to travel to New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Miami later in the year.
