Alexandra Ellen is a Brisbane based visual artist, photographer and theatre maker. She takes a multidisciplinary approach to her artistic practice which crosses form. She aims to educate, challenge, expose, encourage and delight.

Alex believes that as artists we are story tellers and is very passionate about disabled stories being told by authentic voices. This underpins all her art and advocacy work.

Alex is a member of Access Arts visual arts program, BOA and their Earn From Your Art program. Her visual arts practice can be described as expressive and intuitive, leaning towards mixed media and experimenting with materials and techniques. Over the last six years, she has contributed to many collaborative exhibitions including with Access Arts and Art from the Margins. She curated her first solo exhibition Outside Inside in 2019.
