Testimonials

• "Learning art with Ellen has been a rewarding and magical experience.   As a painter she is absolutely brilliant when working the paint.  As a teacher she is learned and patient.   She is energetic, lively and always optimistic.   I recommend art with Ellen to anyone, even someone with no experience in  oils. She will turn you into the new Monet, Manet or Van Gogh."
