About the artist:

Ellie Compton, a New Zealand-based artist, unconventionally tells people's stories. She doesn't write biographies, she doesn't create documentaries, but instead, draws eccentric illustrations that can depict even the smallest details of a person. It's like seeing a person's life in one art piece.

“I am a trained Architect, and through my studies we did a lot of developing ideas through model making, drawing. My masters allowed me to explore things I love which are how people can feel a sense of connectedness when art and architecture are combined with narrative and storytelling. This exploration lead to a series of drawings that look very similar to the style that you see today. I have been working as an Architect by day and an artist by night for about 6 years now. The last month has just taken the plunge and decided to take my art full time. It was a super tough decision (but the best one ), and although I still have a love for architecture, I felt that if I didn’t give 100% to my art, I would never see what it could fully become as a brand."
