Another wonderful interview, Amy. You really have a talent for painting a picture of a total being with your questions and writing. I have long admired Susan Ellis’s work, so it was great to “get to know her” in this way. It was nice to meet you at Gordon Massman’s fabulous Open Studio.

I LOVED this one, Amy! I want to see more of her work! Next visit to Ipswich? (Well done! She sounds wonderful and unpretentious about her art.) I also love her subjects. And P.S. I am VERY pleased that you and Cheryl D have met. I am a great fan of her work, both the old and the new. She is brilliant.

This was SUCH an interesting interview! Who'd have thought of such a specific focus, and thanks for illuminating us to all aspects of her why and how! I'm so glad you asked if she likes to eat clams, too - haha! I was wondering all the same things as you. Great article.

Thanks Michelle! Susan has created so many beautiful paintings with this specific focus and it will be interesting to see how she continues to explore this subject.

How wonderful that Susan Ellis's work is so evocative of the environment where she lives. I agree with you about her so-called failures! Another interesting interview!
