ETHEL GITTLIN | artist
 
 
 

“ I woke up one morning, many years ago with a burning desire to paint. It came out of nowhere. It was really shocking – even to me! What seemed just a whim became my life’s work.”

Ethel Gittlin has explored many different styles through this artistic journey, including oils, photography/oils; from abstraction to semi realism and back to abstraction with spray paint and resin. 
Her newest works are Mixed media. Made with French/European fashion magazines.  Her own photos-altered digitally. Spraypaint. Acrylics. Oils/oil sticks. Stencils-Commercial & her own. With a hand poured resin coating. 
A new vibe. “As I posted on social media, ‘Some things luxe. Some things not. Things I love to see. Things I love to touch. Passionate to the core.’ #fashionartculture. “

About 9 years ago,  Ethel decided to share her passion for painting. And she has been  mentoring foster teenage girls at the SOS Children’s Villages in Coconut Creek, Florida through painting, hoping to make a difference in their lives. She believes this experience is as rewarding for her as it is for   them.

Her work is represented by Walter Wickiser Gallery, New York, and is in many private and corporate collections. Her paintings have been selected for  Embassy collections in Moscow, Estonia, and Qatar, and have been exhibited in many art fairs across the country including Art Miami, Concept Art Fair,Miami, and Art on Paper, Pier 36 NYC.
