Gallery at Somes Sound | Laura Ellis
Laura Ellis’ paintings explore the meeting of land, water and sky, and the dynamics of forms in space. Intuitively exploring images of the natural world she follows where the painting leads. Her evocative, distilled paintings convey an expansive stillness and contemplative calm.
Laura's undergraduate studies included a year studying ceramics and art history in London. She later received a graduate degree and for many years provided healthcare as a nurse practitioner. Life's unfolding led her to retire from clinical practice and return to her love of making art. Her work is exhibited annually and held in collections across the country and abroad.
Laura lives and paints in northern New Mexico. A fourth generation summer resident of Mount Desert Island, she annually returns to the island with deep gratitude for its beauty and inspiration.
