Elite Artistry : Artsitic Faux Finisher & School : Portland, Oregon : Testimonials

“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, Tillamook, OR

“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 Mura

“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. Bacon

“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.”
