A native to Bermuda, her artistic renderings of the landscape, the homes and the flora and fauna are truly brilliant color works. Joan studied graphic design and fine art at Concordia University School of Art in Montreal, Canada, where she received many awards for outstanding work. Her ability as a precise draughtsman brought her success in the advertising world for many years.

This is where Kitten Ellison is most at home --- at her work table amongst other Bermudian artists in the Craft Market at the Royal Navy Dockyard. With a 'flick' of her wrist and her own blend of colours, she creates a multitude of art on china, clothing, glassware and jewelry. Having studied and taught Ikebana (Japanese flower arranging) for 17 years , a chance remark from a student asking me if I would be interested in learning the art of Sumie, started me on the road to my present business. Althougth Kitten is an accomplished painter, but she would probably admit that her first love is gardening, which is why it is not surprising that her art work on china, glass and fabrics brings to life the the beauty of the flowers and plants for which Bermuda is so famous.
