Biography about Ellen Lustig and her Artwork

ABOUT ELLEN LUSTIG ART STUDIOS

I began drawing caricatures professionally at age 16. In addition to private parties, I entertain as a caricaturist at corporate events, cruises, nursing homes, children’s hospitals, and charity functions. Engaging, personable, and witty, I am quick to strike up a rapport with my subjects putting them at ease. The results allow for a fun-filled, often times hilarious experience for all. As a result of my many years in this profession, and multi faceted artistic skill, I am considered one of the top caricaturists in the Chicago area.

I studied art formally at several art schools and universities across the country. I have exhibited my paintings and sculptures in top national galleries and group museum shows. I have recently been interviewed on a Chicago area television talk show where I discussed my paintings, sculptures, murals, and caricatures.

Along with my caricature business, I currently paint custom murals. The murals I have been commissioned to paint vary from whimsical children’s rooms to Trompe L’oeil illusions and architectural painting. I am working on a series of my own oil paintings some of which can be viewed at www.ellenlustig.com. I also work part time at Children’s Memorial Hospital providing healing arts and craft projects for
oncology outpatients.
