N.B. Eve Sonneman is a renowned American photographer, known for her singular technique of pairing stills taken seconds apart and presenting them side-by-side. Throughout her career she has also expressed herself in paint, including large abstractions, watercolors, and painted objects. Her distinctive, highly personal form of pointillism has been characterized by the critic Klaus Kertess as "teeming with tiny, obsessively made, evanescent rings congealing into a delicate and fugitive, floreate dew."

Ecstasy is part of a series of four paintings, three of which are part of the collection of the Royal Sonesta Hotel in Cambridge, Massachusetts.
