Ely Knowles is a passionate artist whose creative journey began with acrylic painting and has since evolved into a stunning exploration of three-dimensional art. With a sharp eye for color and composition, Ely’s paintings come to life with vibrant hues and intricate designs that pull you in. But her work doesn’t stop there—Ely’s artistry has grown beyond the canvas, seamlessly blending plaster and fabric to create pieces that are rich in texture, dimension, and depth. Her transition to these mixed media forms has brought a new layer of emotional resonance and complexity to her creations. 🎨💫

This month, Ely’s talent was recognized with a Second Prize award at the Earth, Wind & Fire Art Show at Live 4 Art Gallery in Pawling, NY for her piece “Golden Wrinkle” made of canvas, fabric and plaster.

As the co-director of Gallery 25 in New Milford and a proud member of the Sherman Artists, Ely is deeply embedded in the local art community. Her work is not only a personal expression of creativity but a reflection of her dedication to the arts in our region.
