Ellen Corddry is a graduate of MICA and has studied at St. Mary's College and Salisbury State College.

Ellen works primarily in watercolors and woodcuts. Often, she combines the two media, juxtaposing the heavy, black lines of the woodcut with the translucence of watercolor. She likes the flexibility and immediacy of watercolor which can be mixed with collage, pastels, and crayons for added depth and texture. The wood cut allows for the pleasure of cutting into wood and the making of prints.

Her work is on display at the Artists’ Gallery in Columbia, Maryland. www.artistsgalleryec.com.

Ellen Corddry was featured in a POP-UP EXHIBIT on the MPT show Artworks 1/5/17. Seven images of her artwork are shown. The show can still be seen on the website video.mpt.tv/video/artworks-episode-514
