Artist Bio

Ella Buchholz

(Erie, CO)

Painter

Says Ella: "My real love is color--I look for unique shades of unexpected colors."

Favorite Painter: Wassily Kandinski.

Her style: Abstract expressionism, akin to Kandinski, is the area where Ella normally works, however her new-realism flowers with an "otherworldly tinge" have recently become quite popular.

Her background: An anomaly among regional painters, she spent much of her career as a "union florist" for university campuses. Her deft strokes and raw vision belie the fact that she is entirely self taught.

Showings: Currently showing with four other women artists at Ella's own studio in Erie, CO. Numerous showings in gardens, vacant homes, and other inspired spaces.
