Artist - Ellis' Story

Watch artist Ellis O’Connor as she describes the power of Scotland’s natural beauty to inspire. Scotland. Born and raised in Dundee, Scotland’s first UNESCO City of Design, the award-winning artist credits a big part of her strong creative streak to the many holidays spent with her family in the beautiful Angus Glens, an area located just a short 30-minute drive from her hometown. An artist from a young age, Ellis remembers being spellbound by the glens during these childhood retreats; how their majestic beauty and sense of seclusion left an indelible impression that continues to inspire her remarkable drawings, paintings and photography. To this day, you can still find Ellis, pencil or camera in hand, setting up her makeshift studio in middle of the lush Angus countryside, as she attempts to render the textures, details and unique spirit of the place. Whether perched on a rock gazing at a misty mountain, or facing out across a serene loch or tumbling waterfall, every moment spent in this hidden gem inspires Ellis to reach new artistic heights and discover what else this special region has to offer.
