About the artist: 

Ellen Wilkins found herself in Jackson four years ago after graduating from Clemson University during the pandemic. She quickly fell in love with skiing, the access to the outdoors and the beauty of this place. Her interests can be linked through a web of art, science, community, and continual learning; and have manifested in organic farming, gardening, printmaking and landscape design. Her favorite food is anything pickled, and one thing she truly misses about her home in South Carolina is her nieces and nephews.
