…on making connections through your work. As we continue daily podcasts during social distancing, we’re happy to bring you another full episode with Ellen Manning, recorded back when people could actually be in the same room together. Ellen is a designer, illustrator and collage artist from Keller, Texas, currently residing in Philly. With her work she creates relatable portraits of people celebrating femininity and bodies and emotions. She also explores body positivity, sexuality, gender, diversity and social issues. Ellen joins the show for a conversation about allowing vulnerability in your work, using your work as an instrument for good and why there are so many raffle tickets on the streets of Philadelphia.
