  • Artist: Jenny Ellsworth

Jenny's welding journey began in 2004 when a chance encounter with sparks ignited her passion for creation. Initially focusing on metal fabrication for commercial properties, she soon sought a deeper purpose. Finding beauty in discarded materials, she transformed forgotten scraps into sculptures that spoke of resilience and rebirth.

In 2006, Jenny showcased her nature-inspired sculptures in galleries and nurseries, capturing the hearts of many. Her artistic journey garnered accolades, including multiple blue ribbons at prestigious events like the Lake Oswego Arts Festival. Her work now graces both public spaces and private collections across the Pacific Northwest.

Jenny's quest for raw materials is akin to a treasure hunt. With an artist's eye, she seeks out metal pieces that reflect nature's imprint, weaving them into vibrant sculptures that convey emotion and life. Each creation is a testament to her belief in art's transformative power and her respect for the materials' histories.

Through her work, Jenny breathes life into the forgotten, transforming discarded metal into beauty and wonder. Her art leaves an indelible mark, showcasing the enduring power of creativity and love. Each piece tells a unique story, celebrating the journey of the materials she embraces.
