Ellen Honigstock
I am in equal parts: a curious artist, a recovering architect, a staunch Brooklynite, and a dedicated green building educator. My day job consists of teaching people in construction and real estate how to design, construct and operate low-carbon buildings. Making art gives me a reason to slow down and pay better attention to the world around me. My go-to media are watercolors, gouache, and pen and ink.
