Ellen Wilberg
My name is Ellen Wilberg and Im an artist working in Oslo, Norway. I am absolutely in love with watercolors and enjoy combining them with gouache and colored pencils. I create feminine, whimsical and dreamy paintings featuring florals, birds, nature and the occasional woman.
I live with several chronic illnesses and painting is my escape from reality and how I find peace. Because of this I want to create something beautiful and calm to share with the world. Nothing makes me happier than when someone sees themselves in my work or it brings a smile to their face.
If I am not making art, I am most likely reading, crocheting, watching tv, drinking tea, journalling or visiting mom to cuddle the cats.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU MADE ART?
I am one of those cliches that have made art all my life. I did start to take it a lot more seriously when I was 14 years old and spent most of my time drawing. I had a semi break from art from the age of 20-22, and I started with full force again in 2012 when I was 25.
CAN I GET A TATTOO OF YOUR ART?
Yes, that would be an honor!
All I ask is that you find a skilled tattoo artist and that I get credit online. And I would love to see the result!
