A glance inside the northeast portion of Ellen's studio and showroom. The painting over the fireplace is Freedom, from Ellen's Strength of Woman Series. To the right is Reawakening. On the easel is a regional commissioned oil in progress.

My studio & gallery has moved

a half-mile north since last summer.

It is easy to get to, has ​ample free off-street parking, and the welcome mat is out daily. I have a resident dog, so please call ahead so we make sure he is in and the gates are open. We also have announced Open Studios.

​We're about 2 miles from the ocean near Bethany. Visitors are welcome to come peruse my paintings, prints and ​in-progress works at leisure, as well as the handmade gifts, glass art and jewelry of local and regional artisans year 'round.
​
Call (302) 539-3405 if you arrive and the gates are closed or if you'd like to pre-book a block of time.  Click here to see available time slots and book online.

It's Fall, for many "The Best Time" of day and year in Bethany Beach, Delaware

Ellen Rice, briefly

PictureFreedom, Strength of Woman Series, Vol. IV
Working from her studio overlooking Delaware's James Farm Ecological Preserve 2 miles from the Atlantic Ocean, Ellen creates insightful paintings reflecting a love of nature, her desire to bring out the inner beauty of the people and places she portrays, and her continuing quest to share uplifting messages with her paint brushes.

From her inspirational Strength of Woman series to her nationally bestselling Treasure Beaches of the Mid-Atlantic map, luminescent seascapes and landscapes, and lifelike human and animal portraits, her work is found in private, corporate, educational and government collections in 16 countries on 4 continents.

These pages and her studio on the quiet Cedar Neck Peninsula on the outskirts of Ocean View, Delaware, provide a way to explore and collect her work. Please note that paintings are always better seen in person and you are invited to come and do so on Open Studio days and by appointment.
 
Feel free to message Ellen through our Contact page or call us to schedule a convenient block of time to visit. To keep abreast of Ellen's ongoing works of art via the internet, sign up for her eNewsletter at the bottom of this page and check out her Painting Progress page.
