Winner of the SSICA Ceramics Biennial People’s Choice Award, and a large-scale Ceramic Installation for VanCity, Ellis creates highly textured surfaces with clay. Her favourite muse is nature, where often beauty is found in brokenness. Her sculptural forms have a realistic quality, drawing the viewer into forest textures of bark and fungi. Not content to replicate nature, Ellis plays with form and colour, creating fantastical sculptures. She has been requested to speak at conferences and galleries. She is published in artist journals, magazines, the Book of 100 Artists: WeMakeStuff, and The Crafted Dish, a juried collection of talented clay artists from across Canada. Represented by several galleries, her artwork is in corporate and private collections around the world.

This work will close with Section A at 7pm.
