About the Artist

Ellie Byrom-Haley, whose background is in photography and painting creates multi-media works of art that combine these disciplines with the textural aspects of assemblage. Combining natural and found materials with man-made objects into painterly backgrounds her work takes on an abstract feel. Her work in advertising and design for many years has influenced the iconography and composition of her pieces.

Byrom-Haley considers her work a journey, “Collage is a process of selection, dimension, juxtaposition, and association- Metzinger’s “fusion of objects within a limited space.” A field of color and a simple piece of paper can interact, conjuring a third thing capable of evoking a powerfully heartfelt and transcendent response.

One never quite knows exactly where such a journey begins, or where it will end. It's a mystery possessed of both difficulty and delight. It is a celebration of fates.
