Welcome to the We Are Makers podcast. We explore the fascinating world of art and creativity. In this episode, join us as we sit down with the incredibly talented Elen Van Dijk, a realistic painter with a unique twist, Ellen creates stunning works of art using stained glass. What makes her story even more inspiring is that she ventured into the world of stained glass art at the young age of 19, and this year, she took the plunge into pursuing her passion full-time.

Ellen takes us on her journey from studying stained glass art to establishing herself as a dedicated artist, building her business through commissions, one-of-a-kind pieces, and educational courses. Kate and I had the incredible opportunity to visit Ellen's studio in the Netherlands during our recent podcast trip to Europe.

Discover the secrets behind Elen's artistic process, the challenges and triumphs of transitioning to a full-time artist, and the intricate beauty that comes with painting directly onto glass. Whether you're an art enthusiast, a fellow artist, or someone curious about the creative process, this episode promises to be a captivating exploration of artistry and passion.
