Ellen Eagle

At an intimate scale, Eagle's subjects are friends, fellow artists, and professional models drawn from life in natural light.

[3] Eagle holds a BFA in drawing from the California College of Arts and Crafts, and studied with Daniel Greene and Harvey Dinnerstein.

[1][4] Her work was the cover feature in the Pastel Journal of June, 2006, and has been included in American Artist Magazine and several publications on drawing.

"[This quote needs a citation] Eagle describes her painting preference as delving more deeply than surface appearance to offer a glimpse of an inner life.

In two of her paintings, Self-portrait, and Blue, she pictures a moment in which she steps back from the easel, removes her glasses, and looks again literally and figuratively.
