Ellen Zinder
Ellen has been involved in the arts since childhood in one form or another. She started painting seriously about five years ago; and enrolled in art classes with Colley Whisson, the Australian artist. Later Ellen painted with Chuck Larivey at Crossroads Art Center. She paints partly from intuition and partly from learned practices. Art, or painting, is an Odyssey. With each art session Ellen states that she is developing skills, exploring styles, and finding their own voice within the medium of oil paints.
