CARMEN ELLIS

 


About the Artist:

C. Ellis is a self-taught artist. Born in northern Indiana, Carmen took to art as soon as she was able to hold a crayon. Throughout her childhood, Carmen developed an appreciation for the surreal & the whimsical and the paranormal. Her first cartoon like character was what she called a Greeblie. It looked a bit like a dust bunny with antennas.

She would often sit for hours with pencils and pad dreaming up fantasy drawings and making comic strips. Her childhood love for Halloween, Sammy Terri and the late night horror movie turned into her now creepy cute folk art characters Called Spooky Hollow. She has completed 21 of these Spooky Hollow paintings 19 have sold online. 1 is still being completed. She hopes her whimsical characters bring a smile to the face of those who browse or buy her work.

"I mainly paint with acrylics using charcoal & ink. I love multi media works. I also make Hand Made Charms out of prints of my original work, hand made Halloween Jewelry and clay sculptures and character beads. I have too much fun doing all this btw!"
