Ellis is a contemporary figurative artist whose work exposes what it means to be a woman. Through poignant and thought-provoking portraiture, she examines themes of vulnerability, resilience, and identity, offering a profound reflection on the female experience.

Ellis’s distinctive style blends realism with abstraction, challenging patriarchal narratives and inviting viewers to see themselves in her work. Her paintings reflect the complexities of modern womanhood, offering a deeply personal exploration of identity and shared feminine experiences.

Born in 1989, Ellis initially pursued art before transitioning to a career in charity marketing. In 2019, following the premature birth of her son, she returned to painting as both personal therapy and a protest against the inadequate support provided to women and families during such challenging experiences. Her work seeks to subvert patriarchal systems that persist in failing women, exposing the enduring realities of societal inequality we face today.

Ellis’s paintings go beyond traditional portraits; they create a space where personal and shared stories come together, offering a powerful exploration of identity and the human experience. Her work has been exhibited widely and is represented by esteemed galleries such as Thompson's, Clifton Fine Art, and Prince & Pilgrim. Bold and unapologetic, her art captivates collectors and enthusiasts with its authenticity and meaningful, contemporary figurative expression.
