Ellen Averick Schor is a visual artist, passionate about capturing and documenting an experience. As a photographer and painter, she uses art to convey meaning and tell a story about what she sees and finds compelling. Ellen's work reflects her enthusiasm and curiosity for a unique, varying range of subjects and a deep appreciation for details and texture, color and character.

Ellen is particularly drawn to the natural beauty and grandeur of landscapes, the quiet intimacy of hallowed spaces, the candor of urban life and the endless texture, lines and radiance in nature.

Illustrating her life experiences in photographs and paintings permits her to convey a sense of meaning and order that resonates for her. Ellen's body of work in both mediums has expanded in context and perspective as she continues to explore and refine her artistic voice and individuality. Ellen lives in Chicago with her husband and two dogs.
