Kristin Ellison I paint graphic figure paintings and have built assemblages called “Sea Bones”. Each piece incorporates found objects, mostly from the California coastline. Figurative Paintings: Life is such a swirl of moments, some we can control and others we cannot. As we surf we become. Many figures are set atop a quote, reminders of strength, courage, and truth. My hope is that these women inspire those who come across them to be their deepest most authentic self, whatever unique shape that may take. Sea Bones: These assemblages are totems of resilience. Each bone (piece of driftwood) has endured an arduous journey to now. Along the way it's been battered by the elements, knocking off its non-essential parts and revealing its true form. Only through this journey can its beautiful essence be revealed and celebrated. Bio Kristin Ellison was born in Hartford, CT, and received her BFA in painting from Hartwick College. During that time she also studied Thangka painting in Kathmandu, Nepal, with Tibetans living in exile. She oversaw the LinkedIn creative library strategy and also spent time at Coursera and TikTok developing learning materials. She currently lives in Ventura, California with her husky mutts Mr. Levi Brown and Athena.
