Medium: Mixed Media Studio Location: Artist Studios at 43-01 22nd Street - Studio# 352 43-01 22nd Street Email: ellen.sted@gmail.com Website:: www.EllesaurArts.com Artist Bio: Ellen Stedfeld is a sketch artist & illustrator who combines bold and delightful imagery with live experiences. Tackling many projects keeps her versatile in style/media, but with the common threads of skilled drawing and visual narrative. Among her many influences are fine art, children's books, animation and cartooning. While developing ongoing concepts for fantastical novels, she uses elements of these stories to make interactive gallery displays along with mini-books and prints. Increasingly her work relies on events, be it lettering fliers, creating art workshops for kids, or sketching performers at music and theater shows. For a couple years, she has taught afterschool art classes. She often exhibits at comic conventions, and wanders the floor with her holster of brush markers -- ready to draw at a moment's notice.
