Ellen is an artist, designer, and museum geek based in Guildford. Her practice is shaped by both her professional experience working in museums and galleries, and her academic background studying Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art and Lancaster University.
Working across a range of disciplines including painting, textile/fibre arts, and upholstery, she explores the richness of everyday life through material and process. She is particularly drawn to moments that might otherwise go unnoticed; fleeting interactions, habitual gestures, and the quiet rhythms of daily routines. Encounters during her commute often inspire work, where she observes characters and behaviours that reflect the subtle complexity of human experience.
Last year Ellen entered the Guildford Festival of the Arts Open Call and was later voted as the public’s favourite with her work ‘100 Days of Lockdown’. Come down to New House Art Space on the 3rd of September for a close up viewing of this and other recents works at the preview evening.
