Ellie Fritz produces large-scale works on paper and panel that combine various printmaking techniques with painting and drawing. She writes: “These hybrid works evolve from a dialogue between painting and printmaking. Painting introduces gesture and form, while collage imprints positive and negative space. The final stage of embossing introduces conversations between thick and thin, transparent and opaque, soft and hard, light and dark. Geometric forms and chance coverage in an expected moment.”

Fritz’s work has been exhibited across the U.S. In addition to her studio practice, she has taught through extension programs in San Francisco, including the San Francisco Art Institute. She was born in Cambridge, England, and lives and works in Marin County, California.
