Artist Statement

Nostos is a Greek literary term for returning home from an epic journey by sea. I wanted to invoke a sense of serenity and anticipation in this piece, and have it read almost like a movie poster. The story is from the ravens’ perspective, sensing the return and waiting.

Artist Bio

Ellen Sereda is a Mission, BC based painter and mixed media artist. Her work focuses on portraiture and wildlife, primarily birds, though both are often found in a single piece. She is inspired by the natural world and by stories and myth. “Some of my pieces are straight portraits of the birds I encounter walking through the forests and wetlands around me, other times I use elements of the natural world to tell a story.” Her work can be found in collections throughout Canada, the US, the UK and Australia.
