About myself

My name is Ellen. I started in art when I was very young and always thought that art provided a place where I could find quiet moments and a way of expressing my feelings. It wasn't until I took the course to become a Nagomi Instructor that I realized just how powerful a medium for expression it could be. It proved to be so simple and accessible to anyone – not to mention FUN! I came to understand that anyone could benefit from this artistic experience – expressing themselves with art no matter how artistic they feel they are themselves. Anyone can do this! I can show you how.
