Walking this path of life with my eyes open to the world. The closer one looks, the more one sees.
Ellie Evans is an artist creating fine art and decorative paintings that transport viewers to an ethereal world. After earning her BFA from Texas Christian University in 2025, Ellie blended her passion for painting with inspirations from film photography, travel, and the outdoors. Based in Atlanta, GA, she now specializes in collaborating with Studio Meade on unique decorative painting projects and building her own portfolio.
Ellie’s work is characterized by a soft, dreamlike quality and a harmonious palette. Her unique style has been showcased in various exhibitions and is a testament to her dedication to both traditional techniques and contemporary expression. When she's not in her studio, you can find her exploring new cities with her camera or hiking in nature—experiences that continuously fuel her artistic practice.
