After years of traveling to exotic locations around the world, artist & designer Ellen Stapleton has returned to her home town of Brisbane, Australia to dedicate her life to her craft.
Highly inspired by her travels, she has embraced imagery from visually rich cultures, including asia & the middle east, as well as her love for art nouveau, street art & tattoo design.
Ellen has a self taught, illustrative style. She combines acrylics, aerosol & ink to create highly detailed, textured & layered work. Her paintings give you a glimpse into her colourful world, full of passion, vibrance & energy.
Since returning home 18 months ago her hard work & determination has so far led her to be included in publications including Yen magazine’s Curvy 6 & she has participated in over 15 group exhibitions around Australia, with paintings in private collections around the world.
