Ellen Martin Art

My work lives where emotion, instinct, and storytelling meet. I create mixed-media paintings layered with texture, color, and symbolism, using acrylic, chalk, and hand-built details to give each piece its own presence. I’m drawn to characters who hold meaning—rabbits keeping time, stitched dolls holding themselves together, and women marked with strength and spirit. Every painting begins with feeling. I work intuitively, letting the piece lead me as I build layers of color, texture, and expression. My art carries the themes that define my life: resilience, identity, transformation, and the quiet power of those who keep going. I aim to create work that speaks to the viewer on a deeper level—art that feels lived-in, emotional, and real. Whether inspired by Wonderland, personal experience, or the spiritual world, my pieces are made with intention and crafted to connect. Each work is one-of-a-kind, created by hand, and meant to leave an impression long after it’s seen. ---
