The Artist


When working in her studio Ellen enjoys the company of animals and listens to scores upon scores of professional lectures and audio books. She finds this immersion in thought and ideas helps create the depth of spontaneity in her narratives

In her spare time Ellen enjoys being in nature; walking, hiking, biking, exploring, exercising her dog and swimming. As long as it's in the clean air and narrated by bird calls it's where she wants to be. Ellen also practices Yoga and enjoys being in the presence of her family and friends and drinking lots of coffee. She has always been active in animal rescue and rehabilitation and currently works with a Women Shelters shelter as well. She and her partner raise vegetables as members of an organic farm co-opt and focus of living happily and lightly, being good stewards of their animals, plants and land.
