Angela Ellsworth
Angela Ellsworth is a multidisciplinary American artista and school of art professor at ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts. She has worked as a painter, drawer, sculptor, and performance artist. She also has experience with video and installation. She is a descendant of Lorenzo Snow and was raised as a Mormon; some of her work relates to that upbringing. She is openly lesbian.
Ellsworth studied at Hampshire College, in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she received a bachelor's degree in fine art, and graduated from the Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey with a Master of Fine Arts degree in performance and painting.
Ellsworth has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia, and at the Arizona State University Art Museum in Tempe, Arizona. She is one of the founders of the Museum of Walking, which occupies a small room at the Arizona State University Tempe campus. The work exhibited in the Museum of Walking consists of actual steps and is made of stitch images over maps. Ellsworth claims 'its a connection to the person, the landscape that relates to that person.' Four of Ellsworth's works are in the UMFA's permanent collection.Selected Solo Exhibitions and Performance (2018-2008)
