My name is Ellen, and I have been an artist in heart & soul since I was born.
For the last 5 years I has been concentrating on being a scherenschnitte papercutting artist.
The intrinsic balance of "Mother Nature"is the inspiration for many of the original scherenschnitte cuttings.
Always uniquely different, my papercuttings range from black... white...colorful...simple...to very detailed work.
Challenges spur me on to greater heights in my artwork. That is why working on Client/ Designer projects is one of my greatest loves.
The commissioned works are very personal, create constant challenges, and are fulfilling to see the clients joy in their work of art.
Ellen's mantra - Isn't life grand!
Please enjoy the artwork, it is filled with love & joy!
