EnglishWhat Is Barbara Ellmann's Website?
Updated
barbaraellmann.com is the official website of artist Barbara Ellmann, serving as an online portfolio and browsing entry point for her work. The site presents her practice across several distinct categories: painting grids, individual paintings, abstract sewn drawings (ASD), digital prints, "game board" drawings, and "parcheesi" prints. If you want to see what Ellmann makes or get a sense of her range as an artist, this is the place to start.
What the site covers
The homepage identifies the site by the artist's name and lists the bodies of work it contains. Based on the site's own description, the categories are:
| Category | What it signals |
|---|---|
| Painting grids | Grid-based painting work |
| Individual paintings | Standalone paintings outside the grid series |
| Abstract sewn drawings (ASD) | Drawings that involve sewing, grouped under the ASD label |
| Digital prints | Printed works produced digitally |
| "Game board" drawings | A drawing series framed around game board imagery |
| "Parcheesi" prints | Prints referencing the game Parcheesi |
The grouping matters because it shows the site is not limited to one medium. Painting, sewn drawing, digital print, and game-referencing work all sit side by side, which suggests a practice that moves between hand-made and digital processes and between abstraction and recognizable game structures.
How to use the site
Treat barbaraellmann.com as a viewing and orientation tool rather than a shop or database:
- To see the work: browse the listed categories to move between series and get a sense of how the pieces relate.
- To understand the range: compare a painting grid against an abstract sewn drawing or a digital print to see where the media diverge.
- To identify a specific series: the category names — especially "abstract sewn drawings (ASD)" and "parcheesi" prints — act as labels you can use when referring to or searching for the work elsewhere.
What the site does not tell you
The available site information describes the categories of work but does not include pricing, purchasing options, or login requirements. Nothing in the source material indicates whether works are for sale, whether prints are editioned, or whether any part of the site is restricted. If you need those details, they would have to come from the site itself or from the artist directly — they cannot be assumed from the category list alone.
Who this is for
This site is most useful if you are:
- trying to confirm that barbaraellmann.com belongs to the artist Barbara Ellmann;
- looking for an overview of her media and series before digging deeper;
- researching an artist whose work spans painting, sewn drawing, and digital print.
If you already know which series you want, the category list is the fastest way to orient yourself; if you are new to the work, start with the individual paintings and the abstract sewn drawings to see the two ends of her range.
