Eileen Gray was born in Ireland to Scottish parents. Her mother was a direct descendant of the King of Scotland James V. Gray’s father was a landscape painter, which sparked in her a lifelong interest in the arts. Eileen spent her childhood partly in Ireland and partly in her family home in Kensington, London.
