Ellen Wilson-Pruitt |
|
The first portrait Ellen saw painted
on porcelain she knew that someday she wanted to be able to
create a piece of artwork of that permanence. She began her
porcelain painting study in 1990 with weekly classes. Over the
years she has attended various schools and special seminars for
intensive study in porcelain art. She was invited to study in
2008 in Portugal with renowned international porcelain artist
Manuel Filipe Periera. She has also studied with famed
porcelain portrait artists’ San Do, Jane Marcks, and Mariela
Villasmil-Kaminski. Her artwork has been published in three
different international porcelain magazines. Ellen’s main focus
in subject is human and animal portraiture. Ellen has had
examples of her work displayed at the international porcelain
museum in Oklahoma City and has been asked to submit a piece for
the permanent collection in the International Porcelain Artists
Museum in Grapevine Texas. She currently serves on the board of directors of the international organization IPAT as well as a director of the Porcelain Art School of Indiana. She has been asked to serve as a teacher on the faculty of the Midwest Porcelain Art School in 2010. One of her goals is to educate the public in respecting the fired art of painting on porcelain as a worthy medium just as any other.
