Ellen’s studio was selected by Stephen Biller, Editor and Writer specializing in California art for a curated tour of “The Painted Desert” as one of 6 artists chosen out of 159.  I hope you can stop by and see her newest Neo-Impressionistic Watercolor and Acrylic paintings.

To visit Ellen’s studio:  Only take Dinah Shore Gate to the Mission Hills Country Club.

This is very important because if you enter my studio address in GPS – it will take you to gates you can’t enter.

1. Tell Gate attendant you are on the tour and going see Ellen Diederich at 217 Loch Lomond Rd
2. Take immediate first right.
3. Take 2nd right, you will see signs marked Desert Open Studio Tour.
4. Drive to 217 Loch Lomond Road.

This year my studio was selected from 158 studios for the curated Tour.
