BIO

As well as being born in Wrexham, North Wales, UK it was also where Zoe Ellis-Moore began her professional, artistic journey. Initially studying a BTec National Diploma in Illustration at North East Wales School of Art and Design, she later went on to achieve a BA (hons) in Fine Art at Wrexham University too. Her work is popular internationally and she has exhibited in numerous galleries across North Wales, including being chosen twice to exhibit in the North Wales Open Exhibition and being offered a solo exhibition which was held at Oriel Dafydd Hardy, Caernarfon.

 

​Zoe is also a carer for her autistic son and currently balances her art practice around his needs. She teaches part time community art classes and art workshops when circumstances allow and likes to put time aside to develop her personal fine art practice.

ARTISTS STATEMENT

​

I am primarily an oil painter but also enjoy using charcoal to draw with due to its versatility. I prefer using mediums that can be easily manipulated during the creative process and find that traditional methods of oil painting work best for me. The inspiration  behind my artwork nearly always stems from an emotional response such as great empathy, gratitude, sorrow or joy for example.  Responding creatively to such stimuli comes much more naturally to me than verbalising about it, thus my creative practice enables and encourages a safe space for self expression and reflection. I have a very strong, spiritual connection to this life and the next, so it is for this reason that my practice is often centred around a love of animals, people, nature or the organic; that which lives or has lived.
