Ellen can be found in her studio at 27 Dunkeld Street, Aberfeldy, Monday to Friday 10m to 5pm most days, but if she’s not inside, she’s likely taking a break and pottering about in the garden (keeping an eye on the chooks). Integral to the team and smooth operation of the studio are Stan Lee and Oliver the Bull Terriers, they make sure Ellen is kept on her toes and taking a lunch time walk every day.

Getting back to her love of art and design, Ellen studied Botanical Illustration at the Royal Botanical Gardens Edinburgh (RBGE). In 2020 she gained a Certificate in Botanical Illustration and was awarded a Distinction.

Ellen went on to study the Advanced Certificate in Botanical Illustration course at RBGE in 2023 and was awarded another Distinction for her painted study of a Camellia x williamsii “Freedom Bell” which can be seen below.
