Ellen groth Reddie (Artoony) was born in Norway and is
now living in the Uk. Ellen studied art at Einar granum
kunstfagskole in Oslo, Norway. She has experimented
with different ways of expressing herself ever since, using
traditional oil painting, water colour, silk painting, and
sculpturing with papier maché, in the course of travels that
took her all across the USA and Europe, and found her living
in Berlin as the wall came down. As a result, her inspiration
comes from many sources. Lately she started using the
computer screen as a canvas, still freehand drawing but
with the tools of today. Ellen loves vibrant colours and wants
to create artwork that makes people feel good! Her works
are only available as limited edition prints and she’s never
released more than 100 of the same design, regardless of
size or output media. Ellen’s greatest fascination has always
been with the early surrealists like Dali and Magritte as well
as with 60’s pop art - Roy Lichtenstein is her favourite. These
lead her to describe her work as “pop art with a dash of the
surreal”. Sometimes it’s quite a dash!
