West Lebanon NH – Deborah Kellogg Ellis, 73, a prolific watercolor artist, died peacefully Thursday, September 20, 2018 at her home in West Lebanon surrounded by family.
Born in Weston, MA on December 9, 1944, to Newell Osgood Ellis and Julia Kellogg Ellis, Deborah attended the Cambridge School of Weston, MA, earned a B.A., from Smith College, Northampton, MA (1967), and a M.A.T. from Simmons College, Boston, MA (1971). She studied architecture and design while working in education in Cambridge; then moved to Manhattan, New York to pursue a successful career as an architectural renderer. Her work was published in House and Garden,the New York Times Sunday Magazine, and Interior Design.
She then became a full-time watercolor artist, received numerous awards, and was represented by galleries in Manhattan, Briarcliff Manor, NY, and Woodstock, Vermont. Deborah and her husband Sarwar Kashmeri, traveled widely together including many trips to India where she painted some of her best watercolors. Her art was licensed by leading houseware companies.
She was also an accomplished horsewoman and is still the youngest 100-mile trail rider at Vermont’s Green Mountain Horse Association.
Deborah and Sarwar met in Manhattan, where they lived for many years before moving to Mount Kisco, NY, and then to her family farm in Reading, VT, where her art blossomed alongside her lifelong ambition of driving a red tractor, acquiring five sheep and a donkey, tending to her hayfields, and beloved Rhodesian Ridgebacks. She later took up needle-felting and was a juried member of Vermont Handcrafters, the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen, and the Collective in Woodstock Vermont. Deborah loved Provincetown MA, where she went annually since a child to recharge her spirits with the sea, sky, sand, seagulls, and a circle of close friends.
Always elegant, poised, and tastefully dressed, Deborah was a loving, caring, independent person, of rare beauty; she loved life and people, hated pretensions, made friends easily, and was deeply concerned with the rights of women and minorities. She lived life to the fullest, never complaining, always optimistic, even after a 35-year bout with cancer which never could triumph over her spirit, style, and grace.
She is survived by her husband of 40 years, her niece Janet Bourette, nephew William Hammond Bowden 3rd, and several cousins and relatives.
Services for family and friends, Saturday 13 October, 2018, at the Ellis plot, Edgell Grove Cemetery, 58 Grove Street, Framingham, MA 01701. Reception to follow.
