Heather Ellis BA(Hons) Visual Art

I am an artist printmaker. I trained in Visual Art/Art History at the University of Wales, Aberystwyth where I specialised in printmaking and Art History. I also paint and draw in a variety of media.

I am predominantly interested in themes of landscape, memory, and movement. My practice reflects a sensitivity to nature’s fleeting rhythms, expressed through flowing marks and subtle tonal shifts. Whether depicting sweeping coastal vistas, the intricate forms of bracket fungi, or liquid flowing from a china jug I hope that my prints invite you to pause and reconnect and wonder.

My current practice involves experimenting mainly with drypoint etching and monoprint, allowing me a freedom of expression and mark making, thereby creating a more unpredictable dynamic and atmosphere. There can be an ambiguity in my mark making suggesting movement and flowing water or layers of strata and geology; the weight of the monumental with the fleeting nature of the fluid. My work is definitely not static. I hope to have created an image with a bit of mystery and something to cause the view-er to question what is happening.
