About Ellen
Ellen Sørensen is a multidisciplinary artist with special skills in paper cutting art and storytelling. She currently works at Ballarat Specialist School where she has supported students’ learning for over six years.
Ellen is also a prolific songwriter, having written and recorded her own music under the alias Shadow Feet and
regularly performed at venues in both Ballarat and Melbourne.
Ellen has been a Ballarat local for eight years. For the past three years she has worked with local creative studio Furals to construct wooden toys and deliver craft experiences at markets and festivals in Ballarat.
