Ellen Eagle

Ellen Eagle's portraits and figures are cited for their uncommon sensitivity and depth, both in physical texture and emotional insight. She joined Forum Gallery by invitation in 2002. She has had four solo exhibits and has shown in such venues as The National Academy Museum, The Butler Institute of American Art, Frye Art Museum, Arkansas Art Center, Albright Knox Gallery, New Jersey State Museum. In 2011-12, Ellen was invited to exhibit twenty pastel paintings in a two-person exhibit in China. The curator's intent was to introduce pastel to the Chinese arts community. Ellen's paintings and writings have been published widely, and she is the recipient of many awards and grants. Pastel Painting Atelier is being carried by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, Boston Museum of Fine Arts, National Gallery of Art, D.C., and the National Portrait Gallery, London. Ellen teaches pastel painting at The Art Students League of New York.
