E L L A B R I D G E

Drawing from her fragmented and vibrant childhood, from child actress to leaving home at 13; and all the brilliant wonders and chaos thereafter, Ella’s exploration of art began. In her teens she painted store front signs for mercantiles on the Venice Beach Boardwalk and designed high end wall finishes. She began creating couture in her 20’s. Her pieces were worn by celebrities, shown on the red carpet and premiered in magazines. Ella began honing her fine artistry in her early thirties, and now is an acclaimed artist whose work has been commissioned by the likes of Jane Fonda, Bob Dylan, January Jones, Hilary Swank, Kevin James... and are featured in private homes and galleries.

Articulating through mixed media the juxtaposition of raw, gritty and shiny, her works tell the stories, illuminate the pain, beauty, innocence within the individual and collective. Each piece imbued with compassion and apology as a salve to her own fractured parts as much as a pathway to foster healing in others. Her intuited abstract portraits channel one’s essence and liberation beyond the flesh, and are truly magical.

As a devoted mother and activist committed to human rights and well-being of the people, animals and planet, she has created a non profit R.A.W (Rooted And Winged) A resource, support, vision platform for self development/empowerment with the focus on our youth and the unseen.
