ARTIST STATEMENT
Women: I feel the minority must be respected and elevated by the majority. Women may be one word but it is so vast. It means the diversity of roles in society, personalities, temperament, creativity, and so much more. We must be heard and we must hear what needs to be said.
Liberty: She was a gift, she represents freedom and peace. Yet here we are. This piece is reflective of a more pessimistic approach. A world full of loud men, politicians and one sided rules. Many have given up and yielded to the pressures.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Ellie Goodliffe is a 31 year old UK based amateur artist. She started creative at a young age as an essential means to escape a challenging upbringing. Then, she would use scrap paper and scratchy pencils to imitate what she admired. With Part-time jobs she was able to upgrade her artists tools and practice her own styles.
Today, Ellie is a full-time quality assurance team leader for a family run brewery. And although she is a new mother to a beautiful baby boy, Ellie finds time to create. She primarily uses acrylic and paper to paint thought-provoking images. She uses her biological science degree background to explore and communicate human health, disease, mental health and nature.
Ellie has had the opportunity to feature in prestigious magazines including Artists Talk and Artist Close Up. She has had work showcased via Domio Gallery, Ten Moir and others.
