Bio:

For over 40 years Mary Ellis has been internationally recognized for her Pop Art icons that appear on thousands of gift products. She is a graphic artist and an Abstract Expressionist painter. Ellis grew up in Croton, and now lives in Briarcliff Manor. She received her BFA degree from Pratt Institute. Having studied under Alex Katz, Richard Lindner, Mercedes Matter, and Robert Mallory, Mary developed her own unique style. She refers to her paintings as "an adventure into the present moment". She works intuitively with no conscious plan or intent in portraying recognizable imagery. Mary's mission is to express her heart while bypassing her mind. Her paintings are a meditative channeling expressing her inner truth and the tremendous joy of being alive.
