"When I work with paint, I am stirred
deeply to express life's experiences through color. My intention as an
abstract vibrational artist is to express emotion as well as story
completely through color. When I'm inspired to begin a piece I start by
visualizing a color palette. Then I allow my mind to relax and allow the
colors to appear one at a time. Once I have a clear mental picture of
the colors that are forming I begin to feel into my body and get a sense
of the story these colors would like to tell. I love what I do because
each piece carries it's own vibrational message. The most rewarding
experience as a vibrational artist is when a piece is complete, shared
in a public, and the viewer feels the vibration while connecting to the
story. I know a piece is complete and the story has been told when my
hand will not allow me to put another stroke onto the canvas!When people
see my work I hope they are able to see the colors of their own life in
a tangible way.I feel my art is a success when someone views one of my
pieces and goes from feeling disconnected from self to feeling inspired
and rejuvenated. I believe color is a universal language that everyone
can understand regardless of their educational background, social
status, gender, religion, or race. My goal as an artist is to unite
humanity through the voice of color."-Ellen Benfatti

| | Biography: | While
traveling on a well known cruise line in 2003 Ellen went to book a
massage in the spa. While there a Reiki Master convinced her to have a
Reiki Treatment. To Ellen's surprise the Reiki treatment awakened her to
an awareness that she was not living her life's passion. An incredible
longing to paint began to percolate deep in her being. Finally in 2005
she began to explore the creative process through painting. After
studying Art and the Creative Process through UCSD she has gone on to
get her doctorate in Art Therapy. She now enjoys a rewarding career as
an artist, educator, and entrepreneur. Her art has been seen all over
the world. Ellen's passion is to assist in awakening individuals to
their own creative expression. Whether she's assisting in awakening
others through her art or by encouraging them to pursue their own she is
mindful of the gifts that the creative process brings to humanity. She
is passionate about the sacred process that the artist connects with
while creating. This is the heart beat of her work.
