Description
Pottery has been a passion of Ellen’s for 30 years.
Early in Ellen’s career, her love of texture led her to a fascination with crocodiles and alligators, and for a time she as known as the “Alligator Lady” At one point, the urge struck to create a full sized crocodile. Kitchen chairs and table were cleared out to make room for a bench and large bucket of clay. The result was a very convincing seven foot long “croco-gator” that sadly did not survive the firing process. With several changes in technique, two large scale creatures now keep her company in the garden.
Her most recent work has focussed on botanical textures and impressions. While working with three dimensional forms Ellen rarely uses a template. She prefers instead to find the shape within each piece of clay, searching for the graceful lines and feminine shapes she is known for.
Her work is sold in BC and Alberta, and has found homes around the world.
Ellen was born and raised in the small coastal community of Campbell River. As the daughter of a commercial fisherman, she has a long and direct connection with the sea and with nature.
While pursuing a Fine Art Diploma at Malaspina College (now VIU) in Nanaimo BC, Ellen has a serendipitous meeting with clay and became instantly addicted. She was often the first to arrive at the ceramics studio in the morning, and the last to leave at night.
After receiving her diploma, she returned to Campbell River and continued her art education and work in Raku at North Island College. For years she balanced a working life and caring for family together with her pottery career. In 2006 she made the decision to work full time in the studio, and has never looked back.
“When I get my hands into the clay, all is right in my world. Clay is truly a magical material and I have not begun to exhaust the possibilities.”
