Hi there— I’m Ell Treese (they/them), intuitive painter, queer editorial photographer, tarot reader and teaching artist with a deep passion for healing through creativity. I graduated with BFA in painting from VCUarts in 2020 and moved to San Diego late that year. My style of work seamlessly transcends mediums and I am able to use realism and abstraction to create new worlds that reflect our reality and other dimensions. My eye for photography was only enhanced by my degree and my observant nature. I notice the little things and I’m always pointing them out. My style of photography highlights queer joy, authenticity and natural lighting and scenery. I am a curious human, always wanting to explore what is peaking my interests and I implore my students to follow their own. In my readings, I aim to help my clients rediscover their creative potential, to trust their intuition and listen to their bodies.

I'm passionate about inspiring others and transforming art and creativity into an abstract energy that anyone can participate in no matter their skills. Please feel free to explore my work and join me on this journey of exploring the depths of subconscious creativity through a unique fusion of paintings, photography, and tarot. Currently available for new projects, collaborations and readings.
