I look at a lot of art.. museums, local art and estate art .. The pieces I sell are priced very competitively for their size, subject matter and quality ...

Ellen Andersen's life began on May 19, 1924 and ended on May 11, 2016, eight days before her 92nd birthday. Her capacity for love and kindness was limitless, as well as her intelligence and curiosity about people and nature. Her talents as an artist and teacher of art brought pleasure to many.

From the age of four Ellen lived in Seattle and attended B.F. Day and Hamilton schools. She graduated from Lincoln High School in 1943, during WWII, and contributed to the war effort as a drafter for Boeing.

In 1944 she married Arnold (Arnie) Andersen, at the time a 1st Lieutenant in the US Army. The marriage lasted for more than 68 years until his death in 2012.

When Arnie returned from the war he and Ellen started to plan their dream house in the style now known as mid-century modern, but considered outlandish by many of their friends and relatives. Arnie started building on a parcel of land in the Ravenna neighborhood. In 1948 they moved into the basement where Ellen raised four children while Arnie raised the house around them.

Ellen continued to pursue a passion for art even as a busy mother of four. She studied fine art the University of Washington, and earned a degree in commercial art from Seattle Community College (now Seattle Central). She took courses at the Frye Museum, and with many well-known Pacific Northwest artists. Somehow she found time and space in the midst of family life for classes and making art. In her own words, she "painted for the joy and challenge.

In 1965 she and a group of other artists founded the Art Stall Gallery in the Pike Place Market, which still operates today in the original location. She and her colleagues sold their paintings, drawings, and note cards and postcards made from their art works. Ellen's drawing of the market entrance remains on the Art Stall Gallery's website and still is a bestselling postcard, although she retired from the Gallery in 2008.

Ellen was a teacher of art as well. She held classes in various senior centers for thirty years until she retired in 2011.

I have found shipping paintings by UPS a little cheaper on large paining than USPS ... I refund overage on postage if you pay too much...
