Get ready for Art Visit with Ellie Paisley.

Raised through out the country, at a young age Ellie embraced the arts. Attending Arts Magnet Elementary Schools, she developed a love for life on stage. By high school she had received several art awards including the Pennsylvania State Scholastic Art Award for Editorial Illustration. Double majoring in Art and Design in her college career, Ellie began to understand that traditional methods of abstract conceptionalizaton would not satisfy her need to understand and contribute to the world around her - that the most beautiful enlightenment in life does not translate to a classroom or textbook.

She began working with the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws or NORML at the end of 2011. After being among the youngest volunteers to start their own chapter (Lancaster NORML) she moved to Philadelphia to work as the graphic designer and secretary for the state chapter Philly NORML where she would later accept a position of their board of directors. While maintaining her career as a student, Ellie set off on an epic adventure traveling across the country to music festivals to share her art with the world. Live Painting on stage is where she found her true passion, stuck in a moment where the hardest choice is whether to dance or paint - she knew this is where she needed to be.
