Nicola Ellen
Artist & Illustrator
HELLO!
I am Nicola Ellen, a mixed media artist and book illustrator living in Sheffield.
When I'm not cutting up paper for collages and painting canvasses, I can be found out exploring the countryside, with my head in a book or making baskets from foraged fibres from my garden!
Adventuring and sketching the outdoor world is where most of my ideas come from!
WHAT I DO
I create playful and surreal illustrations from layers of marks and shapes made from oil pastel, pencil and inks.
I recreate my favourite places and create new Worlds in quirky collage illustrations. Sometimes they are scenes that I'd love to jump right in to and explore!
I love to explore the movement, colour and shape of the landscape in my illustrations and paintings.
I have an Etsy shop where I sell prints and original paintings to decorate your walls in style!

My bi-monthly newsletter is where I share news and behind the scenes from the studio, along with tips, discounts and freebies.
This is the only place I announce discounts for my shop and you also receive an illustrated desktop calendar each email too. Sound good?
