Inspired primarily by the colors of our earth and atmosphere, dance and intuitive movement, spirituality and Jewish diaspora, and compassion for all beings; Ellen works to create art as a means of inspiring abundant healing and vitality. Through the practice of art making, and even in the process of art consumption, we can open up a place within ourselves to release our world of its pain. In this process of art as transmutation we create to bring forth anew. Ellen's art most frequently features motifs from astrology, archetypes and tarot, Judaism, and color theory.
