Ellen Foust

Ellen Foust is a fine art photographer with a passion for teaching. Since 2018, she has been exploring the clouds at Newton’s Bullough’s Pond. Like Monet with his haystack paintings, Ellen returns over and over to the same scene in different seasons, weather, and times of day. Her amazing series, Cloudscapes of Bullough’s Pond, has been exhibited widely throughout Newton, including in solo shows at the Newton Free Library, City Hall’s Fine Art Gallery, Keyes Drug window, and the city-wide Open Studios. Vesuvius, one of the most dynamic cloudscapes, won a coveted place in the 2023 Fence Art banner collection.

Ellen currently teaches iPhone photography and photo editing at BOLLI (the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at Brandeis), LexArt (Lexington Arts and Crafts Society), and mentors private students.
