I'm Ellie, I'm an Impressionist and Fine Artist based in the UK.

Art is a real passion, and I absolutely love doing it, and creating artwork for others to enjoy. My artwork is inspired by my experiences, the outdoors, the beauty of nature, of family, of life. I create a range of artwork from abstract and impressionist canvases to portraits and figurative art commissions.

Materials - For large canvases I work in Winsor and Newton acrylic and usually finish my pieces with gold leaf to give extra wow in places. For smaller works I tend to use either Derwent pencil, Artistro metallic markers, Stabilo black marker and Winsor and Newton watercolours.

Clients - one of things I love most when I'm asked to work on a commissioned piece, is talking to my clients, getting to know the story or meaning behind what they want, listening and understanding their requirements. To me, when clients share feelings, a story, or the meaning for the piece, I always feel so humbled to have the knowledge, of something personal that my clients have shared with me that cements what the piece is to represent.

Great communication, planning, managing the process through to completion, and executing work to a high standard, are also essential parts of being a professional artist and small business.

Here are a few quick facts about me;

🎓 I studied Fine Art at university
💍I'm married to my hubby Jay and have a daughter. She is our world.
❤ To me, creativity, health & wellness go hand in hand
🤗 I think hugs are essential – try it for 20 seconds, see how you feel!
🚐 Campervan + festivals = best days ever!
👟 Running and keeping fit are my 'go to's'.
🎶 I sing most of the time (I’m sure Jay loves hearing me….all…the…time!)
🐶 Our dog Tilly is cheeky, funny and soooo lovable
🙏I believe that if we approach life with a balanced view, we would be a lot better off for it.

I graduated from De Montfort Uni in Leicester and thoroughly enjoyed my years there. It was a great experience and one that stretched the creative boundaries to help me become an artist in my own right. I experimented, as you should at uni, on a number of mediums. Painting and drawing ended up being 'my thing' that I continued with and enjoyed working with the most.

My artwork is inspired by expression, imagination and emotion, drawing ideas from the outdoors, nature, life-experiences and travel. I've always loved nature, have always been inspired by it, and always felt attached to it. Its always where I've felt calmest and most at peace which I think is what drives my love for it.

My creativity takes me in various different directions and I've realised that I like the balance of creating soft, delicate small pieces as well as large expressive pieces. I flip from abstract and energetic, to calm and thoughtful in my pieces. My art is very much in tune with the two sides of my emotions.

Thanks for reading and I hope you enjoy exploring my work and what I offer.
