artist's bio

‘Take Time to Be Still’ is the advice Ellen Von Wiegand would like people to hear, and she has cultivated an intimate creative practise which gently whispers this advice into our ear. A South London based artist focusing on lino printing, Ellen is originally from California and studied her Bachelor of Art History in Rome.

These serene, restrained and thoughtful artworks have arisen out of Ellen’s exploration of self as she searches for a sense of home in her own being. Using her own body as a means of exploring a universal theme, she allows this vulnerability to create a connection to others who are asking themselves how to be grounded in their body and space. With inspiration from Japanese Ukiyo-e printmaking, Greek and Roman pottery and Renaissance art – these are highly considered artworks to bring you closer to yourself and the beauty of stillness.
