Ella is a working artist from Greenwich Village, NYC. Ella was trained as a watercolor artist, but her interest in minimalism and simplicity led her to create her own art form which she calls Scissor Drawings. Ella believes in minimalism both of color,  black and white, but also in line and subject. Her tools are uncomplicated, scissors, paper, and glue. Her process? Ella finds the cutting meditative.

This simplicity allows her art to focus on what is truly important in our lives and  the reason is simple, happiness.  Although happiness means something different to everyone, it is what we all pursue. The art you choose for your environment should enhance it with warmth and joy. I want my art to make you smile, to remind you of a hidden memory, or something that makes you feel beautiful when you look at it.  I choose simple minimalist lines to create straightforward emotions. I hope to take something familiar and have you look at it in a new way. Each Scissors Drawing has its own story, Ella hopes they will also speak to you and lead you to your own interpretation.
