Ella Starling is a portrait artist and illustrator based in Pembrokeshire, drawing inspiration from the boundless beauty of the natural world and the complexity of human experience. Working primarily in pen, watercolour and charcoal – she blends fine detail with expressive mark-making, capturing depth and emotion in her subjects. Often weaving elements of botanical illustration into her work, she uses symbolism and storytelling to add richness and meaning to many of her pieces.
Ella studied Drawing at Falmouth University and has since built a practice rooted in observation and presence. Much of her work begins with direct studies from life, whether sketching along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path or working in the studio. Alongside her own creative practice, she teaches Life Drawing in St Davids, fostering a welcoming space for others to explore and develop their figurative drawing skills.
In Spring and Summer, Ella plans to offer outdoor sketching workshops along the Pembrokeshire Coast Path, inviting others to slow down and connect with the landscape through drawing and painting.
