This talk will be presented by Ellen Roger. Ellen Roger’s love of art began as a child spending many hours drawing and painting. She has a degree in Art Education from Case Western Reserve University and the Cleveland Institute of Art, and a Masters Degree in Education from California State University. Her passion for art has led to teaching positions in schools and facilitating education programs in art galleries. Ellen still enjoys creating art and her paintings reflect an appreciation of nature. As a Princeton University Art Museum docent, she is presenting online tours and doing in person outdoor campus sculpture tours during the construction of our new museum. Ellen’s role as a docent is to help others navigate the language of art through close looking and open interpretation. She hopes her and her guests go a journey together, exploring art while gaining new insights about each other and the world.
