Ellen ‘s professional career over the past thirty years has been focused on the creation and financial management of the commercial real estate development firm founded with her husband in suburban Philadelphia.  Growing up in suburban New York, her family fostered an early interest in the visual and decorative arts through countless visits to the city’s museums and galleries which she continued as an adult. Now living in Sarasota Ellen’s love of the arts continues.  In supporting Halo Art Project she looks forward to having the opportunity to advance artists’ creativity and create enthusiasm in others for the visual arts.
