Painter, writer and gallery owner Ellen Rice is acknowledged widely as one of the Mid-Atlantic Coast's most collected artists. Working from her home on the edge of an ecological preserve a mile from the Atlantic Ocean and a smaller in-gallery studio, her paintings and prints are an outpouring of her spiritual nature and reflect a great love of the beauty around her and a vast array of interests.

"I think people connect with Ellen through her paintings. There is an intangible quality to her work that people respond to. It’s not just visual. Her work is truly beautiful, but it goes deeper than that. Her paintings touch you, something within you." ~ Private collector.

From her nationally bestselling Treasure Beaches of the Mid-Atlantic map and luminescent seascapes and landscapes to her touchingly lifelike human and animal portraits and inspirational Strength of Woman series, her work is found in private, corporate, educational and government collections in 14 countries on 4 continents.

These pages provide a venue to begin exploration. You are invited to visit her bricks and mortar gallery in Ocean View, Delaware, to meet the artist and further your exploration of her work.
