Series: 12 Days of Nostalgia

This was a social media challenge to practice visual storytelling. All are specific memories from my childhood. It allowed me to reflect on my upbringing and channel the feelings of nostalgia into a visual expression. Here are my favorite 8, see the rest at my Instagram.

Series: Life Along the Caspian in Azerbaijan

Published: Nargis Magazine, Feb 2021

I was the featured artist in tri-lingual fashion + lifestyle magazine printed in Baku, Azerbaijan. The theme of this month’s magazine was “Immigrant,” and since I was an American who moved to Azerbaijan I was considered.

The section is called “Fashion as Art” and invites artists to create their own art inspired by featured fashion designers. In this case the fashion designers were also immigrants and I was often able to incorporate elements/nature from their different connected cultures.

Art prints

Here are some ‘classics’ I’ve sold over the years. The ‘Fox Box’ is the design which won a call for public art in Minneapolis and is currently wrapped around electrical boxes around. Second print is called “Gnome More Sense.” Third was made into T-shirts which sold like hot cakes after that raccoon made it to the top of the building in St. Paul when the whole world was watching. If you’d like any of these prints please just e-mail me (hello@ella-ella.studio).
