“НАШЕ ЖИТТЯ”, ЖОВТЕНЬ - ЛИСТОПАД 200 8 31 Portrait of an Artist Karen Zelisko Ellis Karen Zelisko Ellis, MFA is a dedicated artist/naturalist with a special affinity for the flora and fauna of t he rain forests of North America’s Pacific Northwest as well as the tropical rain forests of Central America. Her work ranges from ex- tremely representational to what some would call visionary, but it is always rooted in the world of Nature. She holds a Bachelor of Art degree (in Studio Art and Art History) from Northwestern University and a Master of Fine Arts degree (in Printmaking and Drawing) from the University of Hawaii. In addition, workshops guided by ac- complished artists, including Vera Berdich, Stanley W. Hayter, Jean Charlot, Richard Pousette d’Art and Bernard Pfriem, were influential in shaping her approach to making art. Karen’s artwork is cur - rently on display in galleries in the Pacific North- west and in private collections internationally. Besides spending creative time in the studio, Ms. Ellis offers workshops through the Art Station as well as through Community Learning at Central Oregon Community College. Karen joined the Department of Fine Arts and Communication at Central Oregon Community College (in Bend, Oregon) in 2006 where she currently teaches Drawing I, II and III. For a virtual gallery tour and to learn more about the art of Karen Z. Ellis please visit www.arunartstudio.com. “As birds sing to greet the day, I draw, paint and m ake prints. It’s my way. It’s my way of seeing connectedness and of being connected. It’s my link with beauty, peace, truth and joy. My images invite the viewer to slow down and pause, to reflect with a sense of wonder upon the cycles and rhythms, the subtleties and intricacies, the relationships and balances of the natural world. With each image I attempt to capture a moment in time, as if to celebrate the timelessness of the emerging blossom or the shimmering creek, the blithe bird on the wing or the wind-shaped pine, with hopes of gaining and offering a glimpse into the myriad of mysteries surrounding us.” –– Karen Z. Ellis Visitor
