Me!
I’m an artist, illustrator, crafter and journalist.
My artistic work reflects a range of aesthetic and cultural concerns and utilises a plethera of different media – although my current obsessions are nature and screenprinting.
I lived and worked in central London for 14 years and have recently joined the artistic community of wonderful Wivenhoe, a gorgeous inspirational town by the river Colne in Essex, still an hour away from my home town.
I have been a practising artist for more than ten years, exhibiting and selling my work in the capital and beyond. My artistic practice reflects a long-standing interest in natural found objects and beauty discovered in everyday environments.
I’ve also created a stationery collection which features hand-printed greetings cards, stationery and gifts. All designs are made and printed by me using my original drawings.
My collection is available to buy online from Not on the High Street; You can visit my online shop here at Ella Johnston Art and Illustration.
My prints and drawings have also been used as cover art-work for the small independent record label Hard Graft and also for the influential London folk club night All Aboard the Mudlark.
My drawings can also be seen on a range of T-shirts available through We Admire.
Why not subscribe to my blog and keep up to date with my new work and lots of other art, design and illustration that I like?
