About the Artist: Born in Hayward, California, Ellena has been painting and creating for over ten years. She works in oil and watercolor, painting internal and external landscapes in combination with emotion and history. Her creative practice explores longing, memory, and the enduring echo of place through the language of painting, ceramic, and music. She is drawn to the way land holds memory: how it stores the traces of what has happened upon it. Their work centers the responsibility—and tenderness—of caring for the places that sustain us. She has been working all over the East Bay as a teaching artist since 2022, working with students of all ages. Some galleries that have shown their work include Mission Cultural Center in San Francisco, Roots Gallery in Ashland, and HPU Kaneohe Gallery. They are currently a studio artist at Root Division in San Francisco.
