Ellen Fisch

Ellen Fisch was born and raised in Brooklyn, NYC. At a young age, Fisch began to use observations of her surroundings combined with her imaginative curiosity to create new and wonderful worlds. This all began when Fisch, aged 4, looked through an elaborate brass vent into her backyard and imagined that she had discovered a secret garden. Throughout years of studying photography, drawing, architecture and painting, Fisch learned to seamlessly blend the interdisciplinary arts into her photography. Later, as a professional photographer, artist and architectural draftsman, Fisch honed her skills in the vital mastery of sharing her distinctive visions with others.
