CV – Ellen Adriaansen

Ellen moved to Delaney’s Creek with her husband in 2009 after a career in management which concluded after a four year stint in overseas development in the Solomon Islands. Since she was a child, Ellen has had a love for all things creative including doing mosaics, patchwork quilting, cardmaking and pottery but she has continually returned back to drawing and painting. “When I am creating, time disappears.” Outside of craft, her artwork has focused almost exclusively on trying to accurately capture the beauty of the human form and animals. This has included commissions to paint portraits of people and pets. Her preferred medium over the years have been oils, pastel and drawing and she has recently started experimenting with mixed media. Ellen has only started exhibiting her art work since 2019.
