Marcy Ellis

Marcy is a Tucson-based multimedia artist whose work is inspired by the natural world and the connections between self, spirit, and sisterhood. Working primarily in watercolor and ink, her botanical artwork has grown into a diverse creative practice spanning fine art prints, murals, ceramics, apparel, tattoo designs, and large-scale public art.

After earning dual Bachelor of Fine Arts degrees in Art Education and Studio Art from the University of Arizona, Marcy spent seven years as an elementary art teacher before becoming a full-time artist in 2019. Today, she continues to create meaningful, joy-filled work while helping shape Tucson's creative community through public art, collaborations, and Bun Bun Vending.
