My name is Whitney Ellis, and  I am a self taught artist from London. My work typically consists of portraits of the female form, and focuses on the connection of women and emotions. I challenge the observer to look deeper into the emotions depicted in my work. I do this by covering the eyes of my models, this allows you to look beyond the windows of the soul and look in to the facial expressions and how the art makes you feel. Many of my works tend to depict feelings from my own life experiences. 

In connection to my work on women and emotions, I also work closely with women's charities to support

women's mental health and those who have experienced domestic abuse.

My medium of choice when painting is generally oil paint although I occasionally use acrylic and also sculpt using clay.
