Ellen Moses is an artist based in Detroit Lakes, MN. Born in Moorhead and raised in Fargo, North Dakota, Ellen started working in ceramics while studying photography at the Rhode Island School of Design. After working in the photographic industry at Kelton Labs and the Leibovitz Studio in New York, Ellen made ceramics the focus of her artistic practice. She moved back to the Midwest to establish a studio and exhibition space in Detroit Lakes.
Ellen’s artistic practice spans sculpture, installations, tiles, and objects for home and garden. Her hand-built sculptures are slip-cast from unique molds and glazed in her custom palette of colors found in nature. Her sculpture series, North American Animals, is inspired by fleeting encounters with wildlife in the American Midwest and West.
