Working in many media she has currently focused on the combination of photography and color. She uses colored pencils and oils to create images that transcend photography and bring to life the glow of experience.  Using both her own photos but also antique photos she has discovered in her travels.

Each image has a story behind it and Ellen loves to give them life.
