Elizabeth Ellenwood is a photographer, Fulbright Scholar, and ocean farmhand currently residing in Pawcatuck, CT. Her creative practice blends a reverence for the ocean with her background in photography to create imagery that brings attention to marine debris, plastic pollution, and climate change.
Elizabeth’s collaborative projects bridge disciplinary gaps with photographs that exist in multiple realms: they are documentary, abstract, and emotional creations. Her work has been exhibited and published nationally and internationally, including in the Newport Art Museum, Cyan Studio, For-Site Foundation, Environment & Society Portal, and Parks Stewardship Forum.
Her artistic research has been supported by an ASF Grant, Fulbright Norway, Connecticut Sea Grant Art Award, and APECS Early Career Science Award. A recent collaboration with environmental chemist Hans Peter Arp led to interviews on CT Public Radio & WNPR, presentations at the Arctic Frontiers Conference, and publication in the Royal Society of Chemistry: Environmental Science.
Elizabeth holds a BFA from the New Hampshire Institute of Art and an MFA from the University of Connecticut.
