Ellen Joyce Trayer
Ellen, jealous of her children’s artwork tried her hand at painting in her mid thirties and immediately fell in love with oils. Self taught she received awards from The South Shore Art Association, The Winter Arts Festival and The East Islip Art Coucil.
Retiring to the Hudson Valley from Long Island she pursued her art education with The Wallkill River School of Art. She has studied pastel with Dennis Fanton and oils with William Noonan and Susan Hope Fogel. Ellen's new passion is Experimental Watercolors which she is studying with Susan Hope Fogel.
Ellen finds her inspiration from the beautiful scenery of the Hudson Valley and from her many travels.
