Artist Bio

Ellen Cooper has enjoyed an extraordinary career as a portrait artist of distinction. Highly regarded by her peers as well as collectors, her canvases have hung in museums, and are represented in many private, corporate, and institutional collections. Her work has garnered over twenty national and international awards in just the last few years, including the First Place and People's Choice awards at the Portrait Society of America's International Portrait Competition.

She and her work have been featured in many publications including International Artist, The Art of the Portrait, and American Art Collector. Her award-winning painting "Marmee's Garden In the Snow" was featured on the cover of Artist's Magazine in 2011. Her non-commissioned painting Judy was part of the Inspiring Figures: American Women and Figurative Art at the Butler Institute of American Art, where it hung alongside paintings by American icons such as Cecilia Beaux and Mary Cassatt.

Ms. Cooper was educated at Tyler School of Art and Temple University where she received her BFA (summa cum laude) and MFA (magna cum laude) degrees. Her pursuit of mastery led to further study under contemporary portrait painting masters. This process of continuing education has resulted in an expansive knowledge of the portrait, which she, in turn, shares with her own students in the art of painting. Ellen Cooper has achieved Signature Status with the Portrait Society of America. She lives and teaches in the Philadelphia area.
