Ella (b. 1997) is a watercolourist living in Victoria B.C, unceded Territories of the lək̓ʷáŋən-speaking Nations. Her work is largely figurative and surreal, with fairytale and folkloric influence. Along with her painting practice, she writes and illustrates comics and zines; she works mostly with watercolour, graphite, spray paint, yarn, and fabric — among other things. She explores themes of family, grief, chronic pain, vulnerability, and relationship with the body; her figures and landscapes inform each other, and tell ongoing stories in her visual language. Ella is an art therapist (Vancouver Art Therapy Institute, 2026), and holds a BA in English Literature (University of Victoria, 2022) and certificate in Textile Design (Kootenay School of Arts, 2018).
