Light refreshment by Gran Caffe' L'Aquila |
A New Hope, Bucks County artist, Ellen has degrees from Pennsylvania State, Temple and Arcadia Universities. Her works have been exhibited in the Peninsula Gallery in Lewes, Delaware and the Annapolis Marine Art Gallery, in addition to numerous galleries in Bucks and Hunterdon Counties (The Golden Door in New Hope, PA for 17 years and the Coryell Gallery in Lambertville, NJ).
She was a talented and inspirational teacher of art in the Centennial School District and a creative and innovative watercolor artist.
Ellen had a contagious enthusiasm and an irrepressible smile; she was a model of kindness, love, generosity and fortitude.
About her style: Ellen began her paintings with an underpainting of watercolor paint on the luminous white surface of the Claybord (a wooden board that has been coated with a layer of clay and then a layer of India ink or acrylic gesso then sanded to a velvet-smooth, absorbent finish) to establish the general theme of her painting. She then added, subtracted and mixed colors to create contrast, depth, and unity of theme, often spending 50-60 hours on an individual large painting. The technique and materials chosen make Ellen's paintings unique in their genre, with vibrant colors and dreamy atmospheres.
