About

Ella is a mixed media artist based in Worcester, England, where she lives with her husband Steve and daughter Isabelle.

Nicknamed ‘Doodle’ by her dad when she was little, Ella has been an avid ‘doodler’ her entire life, taking inspiration from everything around her.

In 2020, she embarked on a journey of self-discovery to find her voice as an artist, learning from Elli and Dimitra Milan at the Milan Art Institute. Here she explored new ideas, lost artistic inhibitions and found confidence as an artist.

Ella's work can be described as abstract realism, often combining realistic portraiture with experimental mark making and mixed media techniques. Her work has been described as romantic, dreamlike and peaceful.

I'm taking time to look after my newborn daughter, Isabelle, but will return to painting - follow my social media accounts for any updates ✨️
