Early in Ellen\u2019s career, her love of texture led her to a fascination with crocodiles and alligators, and for a time she as known as the \u201cAlligator Lady\u201d. At one point, the urge struck to create a full sized crocodile. Kitchen chairs and table were cleared out to make room for a bench and large bucket of clay. The result was a very convincing seven foot long \u201ccroco-gator\u201d that sadly did not survive the firing process. With several changes in technique, two large scale creatures now keep her company in the garden.<\/p>

Her most recent work has focussed on botanical textures and impressions. While working with three dimensional forms Ellen rarely uses a template. She prefers instead to find the shape within each piece of clay, searching for the graceful lines and feminine shapes she is known for.<\/p>

Her work is sold in BC and Alberta, and has found homes around the world.<\/p>
