I am a contemporary painter, interested in interpreting subject and emotion in an abstract and intuitive way. I am interested and excited by the process, by daring paint application, by color, texture and the element of discovery.

Ellen maintains a full time studio/gallery in the SoWa arts district in the South End of Boston. She is an artist member of the Copley Society of Art of Boston. The Copley Society awarded Ellen a month long painting residency at the Fine Arts Works Center of Provincetown Massachusetts which she completed in the fall of 2009. She conducts one day painting workshops in her studio twice monthly. An article about her workshops was published in the 2008 Summer issue of American Artist Workshop Magazine.

Ellen's work has been exhibited in Massachusetts galleries, art associations and venues such as Boston hotels, restaurants and retail businesses. She has had several solo exhibitions including a Red Room exhibition at the Copley Society of Art.

She has been the recipient of many awards and her paintings are held in numerous private collections in the united states and abroad. Ellen will be featured in an upcoming book titled "100 New England Artists" expected to be available early 2011.
