about the artist

a south london based artist focusing on lino printing, ellen has cultivated an intimate and therapeutic creative practice which asks us as viewers to explore the beauty of stillness. originally from california, ellen studied her bachelor of art history in rome and has taken inspiration from japanese ukiyo-e printmaking, greek and roman pottery and renaissance art. her serene, restrained and thoughtful artworks have arisen from an exploration of self as she searches for a sense of home in her own being.

about the artwork

‘I’ve always been drawn to the vastness of the ocean. The sea that I love most is not the warm waters where people gather to swim and take in the sun, but rather the coast where wind batters the land and fog rolls in with the tide. I prefer to stand at the land’s edge and absorb the mystery of this boundary. It makes my heart soar.’
