ABOUT ELLEN PICKERINGI am a Milwaukee native setting up shop in Minneapolis following a college career studying Studio Art and Sociology/Anthropology at St. Olaf College. My work as a Research Manager at a design and branding firm provides a continuation of this fusion between studying art and human behavior, leading design research with consumers to understand their relationship to product, brand and identity and ultimately design better experiences.
I find inspiration in the social structures and individual autonomies we all navigate, and am continually drawn to the uninterrupted banalities, patterns and anomalies of daily life. My work reflects this curiosity in humans, space, and transient moments in time. My photographs, drawings, and ceramic works have been selected and displayed at three juried art shows at St. Olaf College. I additionally have had work featured in the St. Olaf College Magazine. |
