Ellen Calloo

Julie says: "It was an honour for me to give Ellen a gift of thanks for all her work for the NHS by painting a portrait of her. I know most people in their lifetime don't get painted by a professional painter. The whole experience has given me an insight into what the NHS does daily as frontline workers, and what they have had to face during this pandemic."

Ellen says: "Wow, it looks amazing, so impressed. Thank you for your time and hard work in creating this portrait, I am forever grateful. I feel humbled I think everyone is playing their part in trying to keep safe and protect others. These are strange unsettling times yet through this, beauty and light shine in places you would never foresee. Your painting is one of the lights shining through like a beacon to me through the dark times."
