Ellen Sinclair is our Featured Artist of the Day! 

Ellen Sinclair, of Virginia Beach, graduated from Hollins University in 1975, where she majored in Studio Art. 

Ellen took a break from painting to focus on her children. Once they were out on their own, she began studying Studio Art again under the instruction of Janet Fish. Ellen was so fond of these workshops, she committed herself to several more years of learning under the instruction of artists, such as Charles Sovek and Colin Page. She currently participates in an artist group, in which she meets every Thursday night. She has been participating in these weekly meetings for six years now.

Sinclair has two paintings in our “Undiscovered.” Show, “Caribbean Sunday” and “Caribbean Blue”. These paintings are from a series created while she and her husband were on a three-month sailing sabbatical. “Everyday the turquoise waters of the Caribbean were my back and front yard . I grew to love that color very much. The wind also was very much appreciated by then. I loved the way it felt on my skin or in my hair and appreciated the way it moved our sailing vessel. So it was interesting to try to capture that in my paintings either in the trees, waves, clouds or other ways. The people of the Caribbean were so very friendly and they loved Sundays and spent many hours in their churches. My husband and I visited this Anglican Church in Antigua and I enjoyed watching the people enjoying each others company after the service was over.”
