Ellen Scott says “I grew up in the Midwest longing for the bigger world, so during my childhood I traveled in my imagination. I found my home in the world
of Art. Whatever I could create with my hands was my pride and joy.
When the opportunity of college came I chose to experience the Art
History academics of Boston while also majoring in Fine Arts. From
there I moved to San Francisco where my world completely opened up in a Master's program where I delved into canvas as fabric. I began to
dye and stitch onto my narrative images. For the past 20 years I have
continued this quest. At this juncture I fully embrace the Fiberart
world and the inspiration and excitement I derive from the simplicity
and complexity of the medium. Being a mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend underlies the themes I portray. There are many women throughout history that light my way.”
Artisan
$550
Fabric, embroidery floss, button, beads
Appliqué, hand stitched
Artisan is autobiographical and universal in nature. She represents myself and all those who reside in the world of creativity. In my own Artwork, I often incorporate the elephant as a symbolic companion. In this piece the elephant has a car sewn onto it, and reference to the animal’s strength and the vehicle also symbolizes routing our journey in this modern world.
