About Eleanor & Lake Town Love

Hi, I’m Eleanor Rhinehart — watercolor artist, storyteller, and proud Upstate New Yorker. From my cozy studio in Skaneateles, NY, I paint the landmarks, lakes, and local treasures that make Central New York feel like home.

After a decade in the corporate world, I traded my city commute for watercolor brushes in 2018 and haven’t looked back. Through Lake Town Love, I create original artwork and gifts inspired by the nostalgia of small towns — the places where memories are made and hearts stay connected.

Each piece I paint is a love letter to community and place — from the corner café where stories are shared, to the lake that anchors generations of family traditions. My goal is to help people reconnect with those meaningful spaces and share that sense of belonging through art.

When I’m not painting, you’ll find me singing (poorly), chasing after my son, or handing out treats to the neighborhood pets that wander into my studio. Every design I make is handcrafted in the Finger Lakes, in small batches, with heart.

Welcome to Lake Town Love — where art meets memory, and every brushstroke tells a story.
