| Pat Axani Ellson has studied china painting
for over twenty years in Canada and the United States. Her teachers
have been a large variety of master china painters, demonstrating
scores of techniques and applications. Following a move to New Jersey
12 years ago, she has applied her knowledge and love of the beauty
of nature to grow and paint the many flowers in her own small garden. Her art education began in Montreal, Canada where she studied at the Museum of Fine Arts and Concordia University. She later owned and operated a ceramics studio, and a porcelain doll-making studio and Hospital in Edmonton, Alberta. In Texas and Arizona, she branched into sculpting and china painting, sometimes combining the two. She was in demand as a demonstrator and teacher in Arizona, later specializing in the painting of desert scenery and cactus. At the same time, she assisted in a Forensic sculpting that was later instrumental in solving a 6 year old murder case. Later she worked with the police in the formation of the Association of Forensic Artists. Over the last few years, Pat has taught china painting at Brookdale College, Sickles Nursury and given demonstrations throughout New Jersey as well as in her own studio. She is currently available for demonstrations and seminars. Each month, two or three new pieces are created to provide samples and inspiration to her many students, both beginners and advanced. Two of these pieces have been featured in teaching articles and one graced the front cover of the international "Porcelain Artists" magazine. To get an overview of Pat's work, follow the Index or click on any of the highlighted words to view many of her paintings and photos. Pat's style of teaching is largely naturalistic, emphasizing floral and fruit as her subjects. In addition to China Painting, Pat also is a beader and jeweler, creating one of a kind necklaces, earrings and pins. Visit her website: http://www.ellson.com/flowers.htm |
