Elinor Freedman is a Cape Cod washashore who is inspired by the beauty of the landscape and creative energy of fellow artists.  While Ellie has explored a variety of mediums, she is drawn to the vibrancy and immediacy of working with pastel. Using soft pastel on sanded papers or textured boards and acrylic or watercolor underpaintings, Ellie’s pastels show a range of effects that bring her paintings to life. She has exhibited her work in numerous juried exhibits in New England and New York.
