Ellie Ruddle

My early works were created in sketching and oil painting.  Being blessed with inspiring teachers helped me to branch out and experiment with different colour pallets.  In 2014 teachers encouraged me to transition to acrylic paints, and their vast array of colours enhanced the creativity in my work. Presently an active member of Visual Artists of Welland, the St. Catharines Art Assoc., my current works appear at local art events, private shows and various Art Galleries and Wineries in the Niagara Peninsula. At the 2017 ‘Art Lover’s Affair’ held by Hernder's Estates Winery, I was honoured to have one of my paintings chosen for the Auction’s main event. Lately, I have branched out to larger canvases and have developed a technique to make the painting appear translucent and more delicate.  It is an honour for me to provide commissioned pieces for my patrons to truly enjoy.
