Ellen K. Levy is an artist who teaches at several institutions including the School of Visual Arts and Brooklyn College and is president of the College Art Association. The relationship between science and art is a theme in the work of Ellen K. Levy, who has spent time in the studio and the laboratory. Her experience doing biomedical research while in graduate school for art has informed and inspired her paintings.

Often working in a large scale, her paintings and sculpture depict fractured scenes of tumultous activity including the famous San Francisco earthquake, scenes from science such as the toppled statue of Louis Agassiz, the 19th century naturalist, and ironically contrastingmotifs from 20th-century culture including Marilyn Monroe with blowing skirts.
