Ellin Egan

Ellin is a born New Yorker and lived in Manhattan, working in advertising and publishing, doing copywriting and editing.  After moving down south, she became a studio sculptor and potter, winning wide-spread recognition and many awards. She served as founding member and President of a non-profit contemporary crafts organization. Joining Angela King Gallery out of a love of art and people, she brings a unique perspective on the creative process. Ellin lives in a restored Victorian double shotgun house in an historic neighborhood next to the French Quarter. Her take on New Orleans: “New Orleans is very much like New York -- there is great food, diversity, culture, and never a dull moment.”
