My name is Ellie Antonacci and I am a licensed Art Educator for grades K-12. I  studied at UMass Amherst where I obtained my Bachelor of Fine Arts in Art Education and studied many mediums including painting, drawing, photography, and ceramics. Since graduating, I’ve painted as a hobby outside my full time job and worked on commission pieces in my spare time. I particularly enjoy painting landscapes in acrylic and watercolor.

In the past I’ve enjoyed working with young artists throughout my experience as a student teacher in public schools and assisting with after school art programs. 

I have now opened up a small home studio for painting and teaching small group art lessons. I'm also involved in the Somers Rec Center where I teach group lessons to students of all ages. I look forward to working with the next generation of young artists and sharing my love for drawing and painting with you all!
