Hello, I’m Ella Hunter, a studio artist, graphic designer, and writer.
I’m from Winter Park Florida, i.e. the land of Lily Pulitzer and base of Rifle Paper Company! I grew up surrounded by creative people and places. I was drawing from the time I could hold a pen. Then, in high school, my love literature and art developed into a love of writing. I believe the kind of writing I do is a form of artistic expression. I am now a sophomore at Baylor University continuing work in both.
By taking art classes, creative writing classes, and professional writing/rhetoric classes I have refined my persuasive writing skills in a marketing capacity. My Professional Writing and Rhetoric Major also allowed me to select classes that balanced my creative pursuits with practical workplace writing. I currently do commissions in studio art, graphic design, and creative writing. I hope to one day work in a field that merges my biggest passions, art, writing and story telling.

This website is for employers, and clients seeking commissioned work from me to get a sense of my abilities and previous work. The idea that everyone and everything has a story has been portrayed in my art work, writing, and design. I believe that telling that story well is essential to client relationships and good marketing.

This was a study done in identity and personal stories. This series is meant to evoke questions such as who am I, what defines us, and what makes us human. Everyone has a story, whether they keep it to themselves or share it with the world. What stories do you see in these pieces?
Growing up:
A piece paralleling the girl with the bubbles with the same strange eyes, she turns away unsmiling, surrounded by color, but she is in a duller hue
Pretty Features:
For this one I was trying to target the way in which we can never truly see our attributes and personality because we are made up of so many different things that others see in us, which raises questions of Identity. I used a regular pen

This is a mixed media piece based on a poem I wrote about my own experiences, and Vincent Vangogh.

This is a sculpture entirely out of paper and paint. It is symbolic of how depression can overwhelm artists leading to a block in creativity.
