Ellen Rottsolk

August’s Featured Artist is both an artist and an art teacher. Having taught art to children in a public school system, Ellen continues to share her knowledge with other artists through workshops and classes at the DuPage Art League. Ellen is also known for her work creating portraits for families.

When considering what inspires her Ellen states, “I have studied with many wonderful artists that enriched my ability to “see” the world and express my own unique interpretation. This, along with the personal path I have taken discovering my own creative expression has resulted in a rich and rewarding journey.”

A member of the Chicago Pastel Painters as well as the DuPage Art League, Ellen’s landscape and portrait pastels will be on display in the Library Art Gallery throughout August.

The public is invited to attend an Artists Reception on Sunday, August 11 from 2:00 - 3:30 p.m.
