"Ellen has that rare gift of being both an artist and a teacher. Her interest in and knowledge of children make her sensitive to developmental needs of the child as artist. I hire many artists through our program each year, Ellen is one of those who is asked for and recommended year after year." - Ava Scott, Art Teacher and former Program Resource Tchr Leader, Yates Arts in Ed. Magnet Sch., Schenectady, NY

Ellen presents a variety of school programs which include traditional author visits, photography workshops, and writing workshops. She is a former teacher and has a graduate degree in Educational Media and Technology.

Ellen is listed in the BOCES Directory of Artists in Schools in some Upstate New York counties, meaning a portion of payment for school programs may be covered by BOCES in these areas. One of her favorite programs (called Star in Your Own Picture Book) is very successful with young children (Kindergarten and Pre-K) as well as with children with special needs.
