About

Hello, my name is Ella. I am the painter and art creator, and owner of this shop. I am based in the Southern Hemisphere and inspired by the coastal environment that I live in.  I like creating colourful art. A large focus of my work is based on coast; of the buildings or of the more natural landscapes.

I started making art when I was a child and had intended a creative career. I studied photography but decided I did not want to pursue that as I wasn’t confident enough. I was ended up studying geography at university and my confidence grew, but I still did not pursue a creative career, instead I pursued a relevant career to my degree.

Now more than 10 years on the nagging feeling of needing to pursue it has become louder. So here I am and here is my work. You can follow me on YouTube at @ellaalto or through Pinterest Ella M. Art.
