Biography:
Ellen Hutchinson is a painter residing in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She was born in Queens, New York and received a BFA from the School of Visual Arts. Having worked in a New York advertising agency prior to attending SVA, her plan was to explore the freedom of expression found in painting. During that time, Ellen was studio assistant and secretary to Janet Fish. Upon graduation, she received a scholarship to attend the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture in Maine. Two years later, she returned as Dean of Students, along with her husband, artist Dean Hartung. Back in New York, she and Dean became assistants and life-long friends to Jack Beal and his wife, Sondra Freckelton. Ellen is the recipient of a NY Creative Artists Program Services (CAPS) grant, residency at the LaNapoule Art Foundation, France and Forbes Trinchera Ranch, Colorado. Ellen’s work has been exhibited widely in New York and Philadelphia and has shown in group exhibitions, including the Hudson Valley Art Association, Salmagundi Club, Forbes Galleries, New York, Susquehanna Art Museum, Pennsylvania State Capitol, Harrisburg, and the Woodmere Art Museum in Philadelphia. Her work can be found in many private and public collections.
Her most direct influences are 17th century Dutch still life painters, whose work is recognized by masterful depictions, close observation, clarity and intensity.
