Eileen first met Laura and Harold Knight in 1927, and the couple took the young artist under their wing. She was a favoured model of Laura's and also posed for Dod Proctor and Duncan Grant as well as working as a model at the Grosvenor School of Modern Art in London.

Christchurch Art Gallery has continued to develop its holdings of Eileen's work over the past few years, with a focus on prints produced by the artist during her period in Christchurch towards the end of her career as well as a rare early wood-engraving produced around the time this movie was shot.
