Biography
Mike Ellis graduated in 2002 with a First-Class Honours degree in Illustration. He works as a Secondary School and Adult Education Art Teacher and engages in regular community outreach programs within Kent. His work has been a part of numerous exhibitions and competitions including The National Open Art Competition, Images: The Best of Contemporary British Illustration and regularly The Affordable Art Fair.
His childhood in Norfolk, watching and rescuing birds and animals, collecting bones and digging up skulls, led to a continued fascination with the fragile and fleeting nature of birds; something that he strives to capture a reflection of in these paintings. Imagery is combined with an assortment of inspiration and ideas to lend a quiet narrative or concept to each painting.
Murmurations is an ongoing collection of work based around birds that takes its title from the name given to a large flock of Starlings where the individuals fly together with something resembling a single, collective consciousness.
