Ellie is a Christchurch-based architect and artist behind Maker of Chaos Studios,  known for intricate black-and-white worlds that blend architecture, storytelling and playfulness.

Her work transforms walls, objects and spaces into layered visual narratives, packed with hidden details, unexpected moments and stories drawn from the people and places around them. Working primarily in black linework, with pops of colour where needed, Ellie combines architectural precision & structure with a more playful, chaotic style to create murals that invite you to take a closer look.

Across public art, commercial collaborations, framed works and large-scale murals, her practice is centred on connection & storytelling - capturing the personalities, histories and ideas that give places their character & meaning.

Her work invites people to slow down, look closer and find something new each time, turning everyday spaces into places for curiosity, imagination and discovery.
