Ellen Paquette resides on the edge of the beautiful Allegheny National Forest in northwestern Pennsylvania with her artist husband, Thomas Paquette, and their four-legged beasties. She is a fine art painter and fabric artist who specializes in painting animal portraits, primarily endangered species, and creating whimsical soft sculpture creatures inspired by the natural world, mythology and folklore. Ellen received a Bachelor of Arts degree in Art with a focus in painting. In addition to her work as a visual artist, Ellen is a professional Celtic harpist, arts advocate, and avid enjoyer of the outdoors. Her commitment to the quality of life in her hometown is born out through her active involvement in community organizations and volunteerism in arts and nature-related causes. She is honored to work with Hospice of Warren County patients as a volunteer musician providing therapeutic bedside comfort care music on the harp.
