ELLEN COWIE ~ Canadian Fine Artist

Ellen Cowie is passionate in exploring a wide range of motifs on her canvas with deliberate freedom, sharing her sense of optimism with the viewer. Ellen’s oil painting has evolved into a very distinct and recognizable style. She raised 6 children while living across Canada in isolated areas, which accounts for her unique point of view. Her vivid oil representations of everyday life often leads to treasured commissioned works.

Ellen “free hand” sketches the composition, in paint, directly on the canvas. She often builds the painting with thin layers of paint. She strives to retain the freshness, light, and energy of her initial brushstrokes throughout the entire process.

Ellen invites you to enjoy the journey into her art.
