Born in Missouri, Ellen L. Dunlap was a photographer who lived in Livingston, Missouri until the early 1900s. When her father died in 1911, she and her mother moved to Texas to live with her brother. In the 1920s, she moved to Chicago, Illinois where she wrote in the 1920 census that her occupation was a portrait artist. She settled in Los Angeles, California in the early 1930s and remained there until her death in 1962. During her career, she created etched portraits of famous statesmen and politicians using the dry point method. Some of her work was included in exhibitions and sometimes featured and sold in small news publications.
