With reverence for nature, Ellen's oil paintings invite you into the wilds of Wisconsin. She presents beautifully atmospheric work, creating an almost myth-like reality of a time and place of importance and power. Changing light and the colors it introduces are a personal joy and the often serene quality of scenes of untouched wonders continue as interests in her painting.

Own some art for everyday use. Handcrafted items offer a chance to own and use something unique in a world filled with the boring, mass produced clutter that we are often surrounded by. When you take your idea to Jeff he works with you to be sure you will have a piece that you can appreciate for years. From chairs to cabinets, or cutting boards to bowls, his productions will stand out and enhance your space.

My work is rooted in a deep appreciation for the landscapes of Wisconsin and beyond—the quiet woods, winding waterways, and the wildlife that inhabits them. Watercolor allows me to explore the subtle shifts of light and atmosphere in these places, capturing moments that feel both fleeting and familiar.

I am drawn to subjects that reflect a sense of connection: the serenity of a shoreline, the presence of a visiting whitetail deer, or the character expressed in the eyes of a beloved pet. Whether I’m painting a landscape or a portrait, I aim to honor the spirit of the subject and the feeling it evokes.
After many years in the worlds of advertising, design, and teaching, painting has become my way of slowing down and paying attention. Each piece is an invitation to pause, look closely, and find beauty in the everyday scenes that surround us.
