WilmaLee Eckman, who resides in Southern Lancaster County, is a lifelong resident of Pennsylvania. She is a self-taught artist who has been painting for over 40 years. Her intimate relationships with the Lancaster County Amish community and her Pennsylvania German family's "old customs" gives her a unique insight which she portrays in her paintings. Her original hand painted depictions of Amish life have sold internationally.

One unique thing about the Amish in WilmaLee's paintings is that, in respect for their beliefs, the faces are left blank. WilmaLee is a wife and mother of three, who enjoys spending time with her two grandchildren. She is a direct lineal descendant of the Rev. Hans Herr, who led the first Mennonite group to establish a permanent settlement in Lancaster County, in 1710.

WilmaLee Eckman is a member of the Lancaster County Art Association.
