Eli Sherwood
Eli (Ellie) is a visual artist and IADT Fine Art graduate, specialising in painting with a style rooted in organic surrealism. Their work explores the liminal space between the natural world and the subconscious, often weaving dreamlike imagery with fluid, textured forms that evoke both growth and decay. Guided by instinct and emotion, their paintings are an invitation into a world where the boundaries between body, landscape, and memory dissolve.
In addition to their painting practice, Eli is a tattoo artist, bringing their surreal motifs to life in permanent, intimate forms. They are also an active circus performer, blending physical expression with visual storytelling in a way that mirrors the dynamic, embodied energy of their visual work.
These diverse practices are deeply interconnected—each a thread in a broader creative tapestry. Whether on canvas, skin, or stage, Eli is drawn to the poetic, the strange, and the transformative.
