Calm Chill 1

Artist Statement

Ellie Hipkin’s landscapes and seascapes convey the profound sense of calm she experiences in nature.

After studying fashion design, Ellie worked in the industry for 12 years. But when she experienced unthinkable loss, it was her first love – textile art – that provided a way to cope.

Now a professional artist, Ellie explores many of the techniques she learnt in her earlier career: fabric painting, monoprinting, embroidery, appliqué and collage.

Based in Brighton, she draws inspiration from the colours, contours and ever-changing atmosphere of the South Downs and Sussex coast.

Her paintings feature one-off imprints taken from seed heads and grasses, and she adds movement with free-motion embroidery. These varied yet balanced elements mean there is something new to notice, each time you look.
