About Ellie

Ever since I was a kid, I’ve loved all things crafty. I’ve truly tried just about every medium you can imagine — watercolor, oils, pastels, you name it. For years, I bounced between styles, never quite finding my signature look… until the spring of my junior year.

When the world slowed down in 2020, I picked up my paintbrush again. At first, it was just a way to pass the time, but the more I painted, the more my bold, colorful, squiggle-filled style emerged. My parents encouraged me to sign up for our local farmers’ market — I was nervous, but I took their advice. And it turns out… they were right. That was the beginning of everything.

Today, at 22, I call Rockford, Illinois home, but my art takes me all over Illinois and Iowa for art festivals, vintage markets, and handmade shows. My favorite subjects are still mountain ranges and funky plants, always with bold color blocking and my signature squiggles.

In the warmer months, you’ll find me traveling from festival to festival. When the weather cools, I switch gears to pop-up shops, commissions, and online orders — bringing bright, happy art to homes all year long.
