About the Artist
Ellen Emerson Yaghjian is an artist, sculptor and painter whose work explores the beauty of form, simplicity, and scale.
Growing up in Larchmont, New York, Ellen lived 9 blocks from the Long Island Sound. Looking out over the water and sky offered early lessons in beauty, simplicity, and scale.
Ellen studied studio art at the University of Georgia's Lamar Dodd School of Art, where she concentrated in sculpture with a focus on the human form. During her time at UGA, she further enriched her practice through a two-month residency in Cortona, Italy.
Since 1991, her work has been exhibited in Atlanta, GA; Bethesda, MD; Columbia, SC; Florence, SC; and Lake City, SC. Her commissioned copper fountains can be found in private and public spaces across Georgia, South Carolina, and North Carolina. She currently lives and works in Columbia, SC, where she maintains a studio focused on copper sculpture, fountain commissions, and acrylic painting.
Her most recent work can be found on Instagram at @ellenyaghjianart .
