Ellen Behringer’s colorful artistic style and speed sets her apart from
other courtroom artists. Her renditions of famous and infamous trials capture not just
the likeness and personalities of the subjects but include all the drama
and emotion of the courtroom proceeding.
Behringer’s home base is
in Northern California, but she travels with her portable studio to
wherever her talents are needed. In addition to her successful career as a
courtroom artist for the media, she is often commissioned by private
parties to depict them in action. They use these paintings for their
office walls, brochures, web sites and gifts. Sought after by collectors,
Behringer’s prints and originals of her courtroom art are hanging in
some of the top law firms, judge’s chambers, and private collections.
Composite sketches are another specialty, and she does these in
full color, with not only a full-face view, but with a profile and full
body.
When not illustrating courtroom scenes, Behringer
spends much of the time painting in her studio. The awards she has won for
these are numerous, and she is fast gaining a reputation for her talents
in the fine art world as well.
