Ellen Mote is a Multidisiplarinary Artist based in Waco, Texas.

Ellen Mote occupies an interesting space between artist, writer, and creative thinker: she makes art, but she also thinks deeply about how we make things, why we make them, and what it means to build a creative life while being a whole person with other responsibilities.

Mote explores the theme of being held through acts of care and ancestral identity. Utilizing cyanotypes, sculpture, light, and repetitive abstract forms on unprimed canvas, Mote conveys the deeply rooted ways we give and receive care.

Meet the artists of Being Held.

Ellen Mote is one of three Texas-based artists featured in our upcoming exhibition alongside Naomi Canale and Spencer Welch.
