Who is Ella Neustein?
Ella trained at the School of Art, London before graduating in 1954. Her paintings frequently feature still-lifes, skillfully merging patterns and colors with a collection of flowers, fabrics, and pottery acquired over the years and from various journeys. In contrast, her batik creations predominantly embrace figurative elements, reflecting a profound passion for Greek culture and its people.
A Memory to Cherish
Residents, thrilled by the immersive experience, were gifted postcards featuring Ella's stunning works. The highlight of the evening was the opportunity for residents to personally meet Ella, share in her journey, and even have their postcards signed—an intimate connection that left a lasting impression.
Margaret, expressing her gratitude, remarked, "I just feel so privileged to come here. The paintings are wonderful."
Fay admired a batik piece, exclaiming, "I wish I had the money to buy it. It's outstanding."
Erika shared, "Well, she's a very talented person. It's been a marvelous experience," while Isobel summed up the sentiment, saying, "I'm glad I came. It's been very enjoyable."
