MORE ABOUT: E L L I E
It is her goal to create and share art that challenge the stigma, romanticization, and demonization of living with and receiving care for mental illness. She hopes to continue to create and share her own work, as well as collaborate with other like-minded creatives and help amplify voices that often go unheard and stories that are typically silenced.
E L L I E (She/They) is a queer creative who is passionate about storytelling as a way to connect with others. They are deeply inspired to collaborate on, create and share stories that discuss "uncomfortable" topics in a radically blunt, transparent, yet comedic way. Elinor finds moments of humor in horror, as a way to survive and celebrate the complexity of life, without minimizing the very real experience or struggle one may be facing.
Ellie is based in New England year around, although travels frequently to New York, LA, and other destinations for work. Ellie splits their time primarily between Cambridge and Martha's Vineyard. She is a very proud and active Auntie to her incredible niece as well as dedicated dog-mom to her Portuguese Water Dog, Cannoli, who is her entire world.
