Ellen Roberts
From Circling the Square: Ellen Roberts, of Farmington Maine, has been a member of Circling the Square Fine Art Press since 2007. She has enjoyed working both independently at the press and also in collaboration with other artists. Roberts creates fine art as wall pieces and installation work. She also prints her art on functional objects.
Ellen’s work often begins by studying the color and structural patterns in nature. It is a compilation of her extensive experience in fiber art. A weaver and sculptor, Roberts has taken photos of everyday life such as the vacuum cleaner cord piled on the floor. Using stencils and string she has created patterns of color that resemble the work of a weaver.
