Born and
raised in Grafton, MA, Ellen graduated from Worcester State College
with both a B.S. and a Master's of Education. She taught in the
Worcester Public School System, retiring in 1982 to her beloved Cape
Cod where she had summered since the 60's.
Artistic
expression is evident in her various areas of interest, including
drawing, tole painting, sewing and home decorating.
Ellen
has been a member of the Guild of Harwich Artists for many years, an
active participant in the seasonal galleries. Now, with the opening
of the Guild's permanent gallery, she has been motivated to take up
painting on a regular basis. Primarily self taught, Ellen works in
oils and acrylics.
Surrounded
by the natural beauty of the Cape, Ellen finds the "Olde Cape Cod"
ambience appealing and strives to convey the simplicity, color, and
structure of her chosen subject without loosing it's spirit and
soul. Seaside cottages covered with roses, gardens of hollyhock and
hydrangea, sand dunes on the beach.........who needs more? |
