Artist Statement

It is said that we know ourselves best as children. It is in that time that we do what we truly love. Ellen has always been passionate about art and design.

Ellen finds true meaning in creating thought provoking creations which encourage users to stop and think, and truly enjoy what is in front of them.

This passion for design has evolved into a love for graphics, textiles and object design.

Ellen is passionate about quality; with it comes long-term enjoyment of that which you’ve worked hard to obtain.

Purity of form is where Ellen finds the most meaning.
