I'm an illustrator and art therapy student currently based in Milwaukee helping individuals creatively address mental health. I'm earning a Master of Science in Art Therapy at Mount Mary University and will graduate in spring of 2026. At the beginning of the pandemic I merged careers to help with the shortage of healthcare workers as a private caregiver in San Diego. Afterwards, I worked at Rogers Behavioral Health for over two years in emergency admissions and experiential departments. My internship is with Donna Lexa Art Centers.

​

I graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Animated Film in 2014. Over the years I've worked with Paramount Pictures, CircusWest, MKE Fashion Week, and have two decades of experience in dance including ballet/pointe. I've been a member of SCBWI since 2013. I've worked as an artist for Working Class Studio, Conrad Schmitt Studios, The Estee Lauder Companies and IG Design Group.

​

I lead a sober, active, and digitally minimalist life. I have lived in San Diego, California; Savannah, Georgia and Vancouver, Canada. Core values that inspire me are education, growth, science, and nature. Reach out via email at info@ellebley.com to connect or learn more.
