Ellen Eagle

Expertise: Pastel portrait painting
Teaches at The Art Students League of New York

Ellen Eagle is an American artist, best known for her figure drawings and portraits in pastel. Eagle’s subjects are her friends, fellow artists, and professional models—drawn from life with natural light. Her work is characterized by restraint of color, self-containment, and the depiction of her subjects’ emotional states. Eagle’s first formal training was at the Art Students League of New York when she was ten years old. She credits this experience in helping her to discover the kind of artist she wanted to become. Eagle holds a BFA in drawing from the California College of Arts and Crafts and studied with Daniel Greene and Harvey Dinnerstein in New York.
