Ellie Watson

I am an artist and art psychotherapist working in children's mental health services in Bristol. Connection to nature and working in and with the natural environment and elements are threads which run through my work. I believe that art and creativity are vital for expressing ourselves and also for collectively facing climate change.

I experiment with a variety of art media and techniques including photography, printmaking (cyanotype using sunlight, lino and woodcut) and drawing. I am really looking forward to working on the One Ash project and raising awareness of the importance of biodiversity. I don't have a fixed idea for how I will work with the ash wood, I am going to see how the work develops and document the process. I am currently on maternity leave and will be welcoming a new baby into the world this summer!
