Welcome!
Welcome to Petits Trésors, a website devoted to the artistic creations of Ellen Filreis.

My found art creations include:

  • Encaustic collage
  • Paper & fabric art
  • Altered art
  • Judaic/Jewish themed life cycle, names & holiday creations
  • Family memory treasures: You supply the mementos. I create a personal treasure!
  • Charmed keepsake jewelry: necklaces, bracelets
  • Hearts! Hearts! Hearts! ...lots of art with a happy heart theme
  • Other themes include: dogs, the beach, travel, bird's nest, friendship, secular holidays, names
Each piece of my art is a unique handmade original created with the eye of a storyteller.

All of my work is known for its detail and creativity as well as for a wide variety of embellishments, color and texture. My tiny treasures will draw you into the interrelationship of the various elements, the complete story emerging as you absorb the visual interplay of each of the various ingredients which form the composition, completing the piece's narrative.

Please visit my Gallery and use the Contact Me page to discuss my art which is currently for sale or the Private Commissions page to inquire about creating something especially for you, a special occasion or very special person!

Thank you for visiting my website. I hope you enjoy your visit and will check back often since this site is a work in progress and will continue to grow and change with new creations.

Everyone has a story to tell...what's YOURS?!

Make Visible, What Without You, Might Perhaps Never Have Been Seen.
