She graduated from Ithaca College, NY, with a BFA and received an MA from the University of Florida, in Gainesville, with a degree in Mass Communications and an emphasis in Advertising. After college, Ellen spent fifteen years in Hong Kong and pursued her photography while working as a photographer’s representative.

Ellen lives and works in Los Angeles, California. “Making photographs fulfills me creatively, it enables me to process complex emotions, and brings beauty into my day. I am consumed by exploration, memory, displacement, and photographic truths.” Photographer Links:    Education Resources:   Candid Frame Resources   Download the free Candid Frame app for your favorite smart device.
