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 with a minor in Art History and studied many mediums including painting, drawing, photography, and ceramics. During my schooling I had the chance to work with young artists as a student teacher in public schools and assist with after school art programs. 

In fall of 2023 I opened a home studio for painting and teaching small group art lessons after school.  Additionally, I enjoy teaching students of all ages throughout the community in venues such as the Somers Rec Center, the Somers Senior Center, and the Wilbraham Public Library. In my spare time I enjoy painting coastal landscapes in acrylic, oil, and watercolor. You can check out my portfolio here. I look forward to working with the next generation of young artists and sharing my love for drawing and painting with you all!
