“My husband and I recently commissioned Mary Ellen to do a painting of a view in Burks Falls, Ontario that our family has loved for many years ... Mary Ellen listened thoughtfully as my husband told the story of how his parents bought property in Burks Falls when he was young, and then worked to build a home that became a treasured gathering place for family and friends. Our completed painting exceeded all our expectations! The incredible detail, vivid colour and three dimensional quality honestly left us speechless. Mary Ellen is such a talented artist. We are so grateful for our painting, “Alder Woods,” which is now a part of our home and reflects cherished memories of a very special place.”

“I knew Mary Ellen Chapman would apply her artist’s eye and hand to make my photograph into a memorable piece, and she surpassed my wildest dreams ... I am fascinated by the three dimensional quality. I see different textures from different angles in the room.
Although these photos are beautiful, they don’t do justice to the texture and movement and light that she’s brought to this work of art. It changes my room into a very special place. Thank you, Mary Ellen.”
