Status
On viewLabel TextAfter “a strict religious upbringing, coupled with a 12 year business career, raised… doubts about values… practices … and underlying beliefs of the society that had instilled those values,” Ellinwood turned to art. Assisted by scholarships, she graduated from the University of Toledo with a Bachelors of Fine Art in 1991. Then, with a graduate fellowship to Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, she pursued her Masters of Fine Art, graduating in 1994. Coming to Iowa to visit her father, she liked the area around Lake Red Rock and decided to settle and build her studio there. She sustains herself as a professional glass-blower part of the year, and then concentrates on her sculpture the remaining months. Ellinwood’s invitational exhibitions include galleries in Appleton, Toledo, Cincinnati, Quincy, Peoria, Carbondale and Indianapolis. Her work was included in group exhibitions in Kentucky, Ohio, Iowa, New York, Michigan and Kanazawa, Japan and has been purchased for collections including those of Amoco and several university galleries.
