Ellie has been painting
residentially and commericaly for 11 years
now. Here are are just a few of her satisfied
customers.
I want to recommend to you the art work of
Ellie Van Dijken. We asked Ellie to
create a large mural for our entryway in
Tillamook Adventist School. She
produced for us an inspiring piece that
instantly draws your attention when you stand
in our lobby. We have had so many
positive remarks about her work and we are so
very pleased. Steven D. McKeone Principal
Tillamook Adventist School
Ellie color-washed our living room walls and
rag rolled our dining room walls. The
results of both, were exquisite. The
walls became alive under Ellie's
paintbrush. Her techniques of applying
paint gave the walls character and
depth. We loved her work and would
highly recommend her to give your walls a new
life! Dr. & Mrs Turney
Several months ago Ellie of Elite Artistry
painted, freehand, a beach scene mural (appox
26' x 4') on the wall of Nehalem Bay House,
an assisted living facility. This is a
beautiful wall enjoyed by all. Rosie
Walters Director Nehalem
Bay House
I can highly recommend Ellie to potential
customers. Ellie listens to what you are
saying, and returns to you, want you want.
She works diligently, preparing sample
boards and drawings from which you can see
what the finished work will look like. Ellie
is very talented in her art work, and has the
ability to work with colors and finishes, to
create the effect that you
want. Her beautiful art work will
take one’s breath away and hold
one’s attention in wonder, as the
details are observed and studied. Diane V.

Elite Artistry provided outstanding creative
performance resulting with instant positive
customer feedback. Ellie's ability to
listen to my needs and follow my vision made
working with her a joy. I am looking forward
to utilizing her skills and services in the
future and it is a great pleasure to
recommend this artist. Denny Pastega, Blue

The artistry of Ellie Van Dijken is
undeniably above any other I've seen. She did
a mural on a wall of our last home, just by
what I told her I wanted. You can not lose by
having Ellie do your art work. Feel free to
contact me at our home #209.388.1497 if there
are any questions. Mike Wilkinson, CKC

Ellie painted murals on all four wall of my
entryway and also a mural in my kitchen. She
was very intuitive in helping me figure out
what I wanted. In fact I was wishing I has an
eagle painted on my wall...I never said a
word to her and when I came home from work
there it was in flight on the wall. It took
my breath away. My house has taken on a whole
new aura since Ellie has painted for me...now
house is a home. The gardens she painted are
m dream gardens-especially since I can just
enjoy them and not have to weed them. Peggy
Walstead, Hanna's Hands
I own a small business in town. Needing some
updating on the decor, I called Elite
Artisty. Ellie did an outstanding job
painting an angel on my closet doors. Every
one who comes into my office comments on how
beautiful it is. I would highly recommend her
work to anyone who ask. Shirley Elrod,
Guarding Angel Services
We highly recommend the work of Ellie Van
Dijken. We recently remodeled our kitchen,
familyroom and two bathrooms. Ellie did
marvelous work and we receive many
compliments. The faux work is magnificent.
She worked with us to come up with a custom
design and color. Ellie is a gifted artist, a
hard worker and a delightful peron. Kathy
Ellis, Community Dietitian and Mike Ellis,
Management Consultant YMCA of the USA
Ellie Van Dijken of Elite Artistry created a
mural for the entryway in our new vacation
home in Happy Camp. The ground-floor entrance
to our multi-level home had no windows and
was not very inviting. Ellie designed a mural
that depicted local beach scenery with a
light house and other items like a beach
chair and bucket to provide the feeling of a
family vacation home at the beach--which is
what our home is for us. The mural has
brightened our entryway, and made our home
much more special for our family - Rick &
Stacy, Happy Camp Mural

We have worked with Ellie Van Dijken on
several occasions and found her to be most
delight full. Her creative spirit and energy
give her the ability to work well in any
situation and it brings a positive flow and
touch to her projects.
Her talent as an artist is evident in the
Christmas background we commissioned her to
create and we felt completely confident in
giving her full rein to product a work of art
that we will use for years to come and are
proud to display to the public.
We will use her talents again in the future,
and we have highly recommended her to others
in the area. - Softlight Photography
We have a large lovely house, but when we
have guests come I invited them to come thru
the garage into the back entry way because it
is the coziest room in the house and I want
them to experience this first. Ellie
transformed a stark, cold entry way into a
"welcome home, come into your garden,
relax and enjoy" greeting. She has been
able, with paint and brushes, create the
warm, you're at home feeling I want my family
and friends to experience at my house.
Ellie is a joy to work with. I told her what
I wanted people to "feel" when they
came home. She came back with several
proposals. Together we evolved it into what
it is and I couldn't be happier. She is very
patient, will and easy to work with. - Bekki
