Ella, with her husband Glenn, have lived in California for over 40 years and while raising five children, Ella completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from California State University at Fullerton where she graduated with honors and accelerated in portraiture.  Ella has mastered several mediums, including oils in landscapes and portraits, acrylics in murals and watercolors, which is perhaps her favorite medium.

From early art experience in life and through her professional training, she has always painted with enthusiasm. Consumed with the commission at hand, she frequently paints for hours on end without food or drink, because when she is painting, the canvas before her becomes her world.  Her dedication to exactness, especially in a likeness in portraits, allows her to focus until she achieves her goal.

Ella has enjoyed painting as a hobby most of her life, but in the last ten years she has also been busily engaged as a professional artist.  She takes delight in receiving commissions for whatever the client desires as this brings new challenges making each day even more interesting and exciting.  She has been painting watercolor birth records for her Internet Business for two years, which she enjoys very much. "It's really fun meeting so many new, really nice people".
