She has exhibited her work in numerous galleries, juried art exhibits, and was represented for several years at The James Harold Gallery in Tahoe City, California.
Here's what art judge Christine Ivers, a master pastelist with the Pastel Society of America, had to say about Ellen's award winning work, "Red Suit".
"This impressionistic piece caught my eye immediately. With a flare of daring and the rim light that surrounds the figure I knew this was a wonderful painting. This artist was able to create a three dimensional form with so few strokes I was amazed. With only indications of sea, sand and sky through the use of pure color she drew me into this scene and story. With mark making at its best and composition to interest any viewer..."
