Lift Up Ellie
Ellie Potvin is a beautiful 8-year-old girl who loves her twin sister Grace, Girl Scouts, Taylor Swift and Arts & Crafts. Ellie is also suffering from Stage 4 Relapse Rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare childhood cancer that has caused tumors in Ellie's legs and abdomen.
On December 14, 2009, Ellie Potvin and her mom visited the Southend studio of Anne Neilson for a lesson in oil painting and some time at the easel. (slide show of Ellie in studio) She returns in January for another session.
Two of the many paintings Ellie created that day have been made into fine art giclée prints (courtesy of Chromatype) and are for sale here and in Charlotte at Sophia's Gallery (1528 East Blvd) and Studio 21 Fine Art (118 E Kingston Ave). 100% of proceeds will benefit the "Lift Up Ellie Fund" a supplemental needs trust.
