About the ArtistEllen originally studied Jewelry Design and Metalsmithing at Texas Tech University, though she didn’t always know that jewelry making would be her artistic calling. It wasn’t until she worked under a jewelry designer in Portland that she fell in love with jewelry making and began a fascination and deep appreciation for the design process. With a background in painting and a career in jewelry design, Ellen Mote now enjoys practicing both crafts out of her studio in Waco, Texas. Her love for painting was reignited after stumbling across a purple weed growing out of a road in her neighborhood. Navigating a difficult season in her own life at the time, Ellen was moved by this picture of beauty rising out of an unlikely place. She picked the weed, brought it home, and used it to create the first of many paintings as she set old dreams in motion. Inspired by nature and designed with unexpected compositions, Ellen’s paintings are crafted using cyanotypes, acrylic paint, and unprimed canvas. For every person who invites her art into their lives, Ellen hopes it reveals the everyday beauty all around them—because everyone is worthy of having beautiful things they love in their home.Ellen's art website Ellen's Jewelry website
