Ellen works within an expanded practice that spans time-based media, facilitation, and curation. Her work interlaces themes of correspondence, rehearsal, and duality, producing multi-practitioner projects that emphasise collaboration and merge both online and in-person outcomes.

She is a founder and co-director of Screen Service, a non-profit arts organisation facilitating experimentation and connectivity for early-career artists in Ireland. She curated a major retrospective of the work of artist John O’Connor for An Táin Arts Centre, Dundalk (2024). Ellen is from Co.Louth and has been supported by The Arts Council in 2022, 2023 (Agility Award) and 2025 (Project Award).

Upcoming curatorial projects include The Collision Project (exhibition), STARLING, Limerick, July 2025 and I Feel How My Eye Turns (screening), Abbey Arts Centre, Donegal, September 2025.
