'˜Kevin' artist in business award finals

Ella, of Ella art, is well known locally for her original paintings – particularly her bunnies and teddies – not forgetting Kevin the Zebra who even has his own fan club, with the hashtag #welovekevin.

Ella says: “I see the world differently since having children and that is reflected in my art.

“My paintings often contain images of childhood, whether that be a portrait, toys, or just a sense of fun.

Ella is a finalist in the Best Product category of the awards.

Ella said: “You don’t often think of art as a product, but the judges have looked at it this way and I am actually up against another artist in the final.

“My paintings are certainly a product of my creativity, and a lot of work goes into them, so I guess they are a product in that sense.”
