Ellen Goldschmidt

BIO

Ellen Goldschmidt is a multivalent artist who uses traditional media to explore visual, philosophical and psychological ideas.  From large scale imaginative drawings that spring from her unconscious to paintings of couples in longterm relationships, she attends to her interests and her commitment to growth as an artist.  Focused, now, on developing her abstraction-based painting practice, she brings 24 years of experience to her color-forward compositions. 

In October, Goldschmidt launches Donald the Daring, her first illustrated book for children and adults about a pampered lapdog with a higher calling.

Goldschmidt is a graduate of Colorado College and the Oregon College of Art and Craft.  Her work has been featured in many venues in Oregon and Washington, including the Tacoma Art Museum and the Seattle Art Museum sales gallery. She has appeared on KBOO radio’s Art Focus program and received reviews in The Oregonian, The Willamette Week and Oregon Arts Watch.  She is represented by Blackfish Gallery in Portland, OR.
