Artwork by Ellen Andreassen.

Born in Portage La Prairie, Manitoba, She grew up and went to school in Edmonton, Alberta. After completing the Graphic Design program at Grant MacEwan College she worked as a freelance designer. More recently, painting has become her passion. She paints mostly in oils, glazing with multiple layers to create atmospheric and poetic images. Her process is instinctual and intuitive expressing her love of nature. She finds inspiration in the hills, lakes and fields in an area called the Glory Hills.
