About the artist

Ellie’s Biography

Ellie attended UCLA, earning a B.A. in Fine Arts with Honors. She did graduate work at UCLA under the direction of William Brice, Jan Stussy, Sam Amato, and Rico Lebrun.

After a career in graphic design and raising a family, she returned to her first love, painting. Freudenstein paints en plein air; her chosen medium is oil. She enjoys painting landscapes, mostly of California's central coast, France, and Italy. Her paintings are richly colored with a great sense of movement, energy, and emotion.

Today, she works in her studio and in the field, doing studies in Italy, France, and the central coast near Santa Barbara, CA.

Ellie is often asked to teach workshops for various art societies or private groups. She is a full artist member of the California Art Club and Oil Painters of America, a Signature Member of the American Impressionist Society, and a Signature Member of the Women Artists of the West, and was recently inducted into the National Association of Women Artists.
