"Loved my day
freely painting in acrylic for the first time. Must apologise for
using so many sheets of paper. The race to finish canvas No. 14
resulted in
wild yellow, blue and green hills – exuberant Waiheke from an
initiate on a roll."
Suzanne Renshaw-Vaassen, Waiheke Island
"One day with Ellen in her studio was enough to free that
creative urge that we all have hidden within ourselves. I am
now painting and loving it. Thank you, Ellen."
Rob Vaassen, Waiheke Island

"After leaving primary school I never played with paint
on paper again. It was a pleasure and delight led most expertly
by Ellen, who created a day of high energy and celebration.
I would recommend her workshops to anyone who has even the
tiniest
inkling
to explore themselves through the medium of paint."
James Samuel, Waiheke Island
"Ellen helped me break through limitations in painting
that I'd been struggling with for years. This was a very deep
and
surprising process, coming up against and releasing obstructions
in the process. Totally great workshop!"
Anita Lindblom, Sausalito, CA
"Great class - I loved the freedom to express however
I chose. It allowed an expression very seldom tapped into."
Marcy Kerr, Santa Rosa, CA
