About

Ellie Snow is an artist based in Hillsborough, North Carolina. Her acrylic paintings explore emotional themes through abstracted gardens and landscapes. Her works often begin with nature photographs taken around her woodland home, often while exploring with her two children. These images are collaged and edited to create a rough draft for the painting. Ellie's main interest is the external landscape as a metaphor for the internal landscape, often referencing her experience of motherhood. The paintings that result are emotive and sometimes dream-like, balancing the beauty and complexity of being human.

“Still, what I want in my life
is to be willing
to be dazzled—
to cast aside the weight of facts

and maybe even
to float a little
above this difficult world.”
