Description
A contemporary landscape artist from Scotland, Ellis O'Connor works in the field of painting and drawing. She's been a practising artist for 7 years and during that time has been quite nomadic, living in Iceland, Noth Uist and recently Skye and is drawn to elemental, atmosphere places 'on the edge'. She is one of 10 artists worldwide chosen to sail around the Archipelago of Svalbard in the High Arctic on a research led residency with a group of artists and scientists.Ellis beautifully articulates how the hard or difficult times in her life have helped her grow as a person and learn how to move on. Describing how choosing to embrace fear is the most liberating feeling helping her discover how resilient she is and how much she loved spending time travelling on her own. Listen in to Margaret and Ellis chat about art being like a therapy, an essential part of living for them. Ellis finds her art becoming more and more abstract, much more about her experience of being in the environment and then translating the emotion on to the canvas. This is a fascinating insight into Ellis' life and thoughts.
