Artifactory | Ellen Choate

Artist Name:

Ellen Choate

Description of Artwork:

I use handmade artisan lampwork glass beads, natural stones, copper, silver, and old chain along with found objects to make my jewelry pieces. I like to heat-color the metals and add patina to visually age the metals.

Artist Biography:

I've have always been a maker of things. I studied art at UT Arlington and began airbrushing during that time. I painted everything from t shirts to vehicles to walls to prosthetic limbs over many years, and I am still always drawing or making something. I have a current love for making jewelry, and my favorite pieces use old chain, handmade lampwork glass, copper, silver, and natural stones.
