Ellie is an inspiring young and a very talented lady indeed she was first introduced to Canal Art in 2007 at the Crick Boat Show and since then she has developed a style which is as fresh as the roses she paints. Ellie is on a learning curve herself and after attending various painting workshops at Inland Waterways Festivals organised by Julie Tonkin (Julie was taught by the legendary Phil Speight) plans to attend more painting workshops very soon.  Ellie a very confident young individual will be giving painting demonstrations at the Trade n Post for all to see (and for you to try !!!), please visit the Trade n Post or watch this page for further details.
