Ellen Strope has a heart for painting God's creation. She does not consider herself ‘self-taught' even though she has never had art instruction. As a Christian, she gives her Lord all the praise for the ability to draw and paint.

Ellen has always loved animals and started drawing them at a very young age. When she was in her early teens she began painting. As an adult her passion for painting has grown even stronger. She realizes the importance of how paintings of beautiful landscapes and wildlife can visually stimulate the hearts of people ‘to have a deeper compassion, concern and appreciation for what God has created and called 'good’.

Wildlife, birds and domestic animals blended with the breath-taking landscape of the Pacific Northwest, Canada and Alaska are perfect inspiration for her work. She needs only to step outside the door for inspiration. Ellen’s husband, Ron, hand-crafted a log home for them in the beautiful mountains of northeast Washington which is home to numerous species of wildlife and birds plus abundant lakes, rivers and streams.

Ellen excels in detailed realism which requires patience beyond imagination. Miniature painting has been her specialty for many years but she still enjoys doing larger works, saw blades and Christmas balls when time allows.

Ellen is a member of World Federation of Miniaturists, Cider Painters of America, Miniature Art Society of Florida (MASF) and the Association of Miniature Artists. For the past decade she has participated in miniature national and international art exhibitions and competitions. She has been blessed with numerous awards.
