Ellen Shattuck Pierce

Ellen Shattuck Pierce is an artist living in Boston, MA. She loves printmaking and its history as a decorative art, medium for protest, and as a mode for distributing knowledge. She embraces all three of these aspects by using relief cuts to create allegorical scenes of American life in her prints, books and wallpapers. Her work has been shown in France, the UAE, Cuba and Portugal. In 2022 she was awarded a Mass Cultural Council Artist Fellowship. She attended the School of the Museum of Fine Arts Boston, graduated from UMass Boston, and received her Ed.M in Arts Education from Harvard University. Being part Canadian, she longed to spend time in Canada and moved to Toronto to complete her MFA at York University.
