About Me


Photography by: Kerry Renee Photography

Hello and welcome to my little corner of the internet! I am glad to have you. My name is Ellen Schaefer. I am an animal, nature, deep breath lover, and artist based in Fredericksburg, VA. I have loved creating art from the time I was very little. My very first subject was my kindergarten dog, Max. Through my present day work, I hope to create thoughtful art that encourages mindfulness and joy.

When I am not painting you can find me snuggling my pups Stanley (pictured here) and Daisy May or spending time with my husband TJ and daughter Opal.

I would love to her from you!  You can contact me with any questions through the Say Hello! tab.
