About the Artist, Elinor Carbone 
 

Although Ellie Carbone, born in Munich, Germany, is a gifted and recognized watercolorist, her professional background is that of an illustrator. While developing her watercolor techniques over the past 25 years, she has studied with famous masters of watercolor such as John Pike, Ron Ransom, Judie Wagner, Tony VanHasselt, and Tony Couch and has participated in many art shows.

Watercolor painting and art in general offers me many rewards and I paint as often as possible. Watercolor’s exciting qualities – its freshness, immediacy, and spontaneity – are what also makes it the most challenging painting medium.

~ Ellie Carbone

Her work has been exhibited mostly in central New York, where she has participated in exhibitions at the Skaneateles Art Festival, the Everson Museum, and the Parish Art Festival. Her painting “On My Own Time” was awarded Best of Show for watercolor at the SUNY Health Science Center in Syracuse, New York.

Ellie teaches watercolor techniques in her mixed-media watercolor workshops for beginning and advanced students in Florida, New York, and Maine.
