About
Elisa "Ellie Mar" Castro
Hello world!
I'm Ellie :)
I love creating a wide range of things using my own free-range hands, making a variety of personal and commissioned work. The majority of my work is illustrative and colorful. I enjoy creating graphics that display my unique experiences involving mental health topics and advocacy.
Growing up in Los Angeles and living in the Bay Area has given me heaps of experience with traditional and non-traditional art making. I attended the Ryman Arts program at the Otis College of Art and Design, receiving a Scholastic Art & Writing Award from the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers.
I am in my senior year at the University of California, Berkeley, earning a BA in art and psychology and a certificate in design innovation. I hope to continue studying the intersection of art making and patient-centered therapy as a means of self-expression.
I look forward to working with you soon!
