Through painting Ella explores the inner world, nature and connection to the dream landscape. Inspired by mythology and astrology, the landscape of her work evokes a narrative of enchantment and mystic enquiry. Each character with a story of their own, a conversation between self, lover, friend, growing plants, breathing water, and the ever present starry expanse that is our sky.

The intention of her paintings is to bring joy and harmony to the world. To grace the walls of a home; a house, a van…of a special person who appreciates wonder.

May the art that is our lives help us to understand this strange and beautiful world.

Workshops

Ella has facilitated painting and creativity workshops at events and festivals around Victoria and NSW. Some include The Town, Oops a Daisy, Bloom Festival, Folk Rhythm Life and The Village Continuum.
