Ellen Joffe-Halpern featured at Tunnel City


Mixed media artist, Ellen Joffe-Halpern of Williamstown, has been showing many of her paintings and drawings at Tunnel City Coffee in Williamstown. The current show will be in place through the end of October. Ellen is particularly happy to be sharing the wall space with her husband, Chip, who is an established photographer. While both have simultaneously exhibited in the North Adams Regional Hospital Community Art Program's Exhibit in North Adams, this is the first time they are featured together.


Ellen has been a member of NAACO since we established the gallery in our current space, during 2009. I first met her during an art "open studio" event a few years back, while visiting one of the artist buildings in Pittsfield. I really enjoyed seeing her compositions and the fresh, contemporary manner in which several media are employed in one piece: watercolor, pastel, ink, etc.


Her recent submissions to the NAACO Galleryhave included landscape depictions of Mount Greylock and scenes from a Moroccan trip she'd taken with Chip...really nice!
