​Barbara Ellison

Sunflowers in a Jug and Bowl - mixed media.

Barbara Ellison studied at Belfast College of Art and became a full time painter after retiring from lecturing at Stranmillis University College.
​She experiments constantly, exploiting random effects while underpinning her work with strong draughtsmanship.  Using line and colour intuitively she creates an artwork which contains a logic, coherence and a life of its own while expressing her personal response to landscape, still life and figures.
She is a member of the Watercolour Society of Ireland, the Ulster Watercolour Society and is a Past President of the Ulster Society of Women Artists.  She has exhibited widely and has gained multiple awards.
