ELLEN
HATHAWAY

ELLEN HATHAWAY, a native North Carolinian, moved into Studio 207 at Artspace in July 2017. As a resident artist, she especially enjoys teaching children in the Artspace Summer Arts Program and facilitating Corporate Creativity workshops with adults. With degrees in Media, UNC-CH, and MT, The Curry School, UVA, Hathaway is a self-taught artist. She nurtures her painting through continual formal study, community with trusted artists, and most often asking “what if?” Her paintings are intimately personal interpretations alive with sensuous rhythms of intense color, palpable texture, and mixed media. After living in Charlottesville, VA for 30 years, the Hathaways now call Raleigh home. Her work is represented by galleries in NC, VA, and NH, and collected privately and corporately throughout the US.

For Ellen, painting is a gift that offers space for healing, growing her faith, and self-discovery. It is one way to pray.
