I am Chelle Ellis:

A painter, printmaker and sculptor creating mixed media paintings with found or made objects added into the work. I often focus on simplified, repeated shapes with hidden questions and answers to the universe, making each piece unique to my style and meaningful to me. In this way, the process often feels larger than me and communal with everything.

Moosh Print Studio:

You may notice quite a few pieces with a little black and white dog or ginkgo leaves. That's because my Pekingese, Moosh, is my muse since I got her in 2011.. and she has a ginkgo leaf shape on her head.

Ocasionally, I work as an art instructor, as time and energy allow. I have taught or assisted in teaching classes in printmaking, mixed media painting and metal-smithing.

Photos and inventory of my pieces can be viewed from this website by clicking the "art" tab on the left. I am not the most productive artist in the world, but tend to create a half dozen pieces in spurts, when the notion hits me.

Currently, I am creating lamps and lighting made with a marriage of antique parts, that I call "Frankenlamps". You can see some of my progress on my separate website for those works at frankenlamps.com.
