Elizabeth Ann Ellis

Having lunch today with a couple of " ex-Paiersites"..Beth's name came up in conversation about a long ago Paier alumni show that we had both exhibited in. This is when I found out about Beth's passing, Looking at some of the photo's posted returned memories of her focus while she painted, and above all - her smile. . My belated condolences to her spouse Kathleen and her extended family.

Dearest Kathy. I can’t believe it’s been nine years since Beth passed. I still have one of her beautiful pictures she painted. It’s actually Peter rabbit. I think of her every time I see the picture. I also always think of you. Love Jennifer Vogler Owens

I am so terribly saddened to read of Beth's death. I loved her work from the day I first encountered it in her home studio in Glastonbury. Two of her pictures are treasures that came with me when I moved home to the UK from the States. Belatedly but always, my heart reaches out to you, Kathi, from so far away.

I am sorry to learn of Beth's passing. And I am so glad to have met her.

My deepest condolences to Beth's partner/family. Her artwork touched so many people so deeply. My family is lucky enough to own a painting and some prints. Her artwork is so personal yet so universal at the same time. I was lucky to have spoken with her a few times and she made every conversation so warm. Her beautiful spirit lives on through her amazing artwork. Thank you for sharing...God bless and peace to you.

I just heard today of Beth's passing. I wish I had been at her service to give you a hug, Kathi. My heart goes out to you and to the rest of Beth's family. Beth was such a beautiful and gentle spirit. I am thankful I have her prints to remind me of her specialness.

I was lucky to have met her in Wells over 3 yrs ago after being diagnosed with breast cancer myself. I would visit her at the studio every July while vacationing in Wells. Our first meeting was in Wells where she was painting outdoors and I was privileged that she asked I take a picture of her while working. She was a warm and loving person and I will remember her for the rest of my life.Deepest sympathy to Kathleen Humpage as she always spoke so highly of you. I am sorry but I just found...

Like several others, I have just learned of Beth death. I had no Idea she had relapsed. Beth was a great inspiration to me when I visited and met her in the former gallery location in Perkins Cove. She encouraged me to read "The Artist Way" which changed her life. She again encouraged me and inspired me when I took a workshop with her soon after completing her course of chemo some 5 yrs ago. She told us she was uncertain if she could do it, but really wanted too. At the end of the workshop,...

We were both shocked and saddened to pick up a newspaper last week-end and read that Beth had passed away in December. We always stopped by her studio in Ogunquit and chatted with her when she was there and have the pleasure of looking at "the Gatherers" in our family room in Wells.It reminded us of our grandkids when we first saw it ! We had several really good conversations after her first bout with cancer and she was excited and planning her trip to Tuscany and was feeling so much...
