Ellen Bull is a costume and scenic designer working primarily in theatre and film in New Orleans. She pairs her background in painting and printmaking with her theatrical designs to create whimsical works in textiles, puppetry, costumes, and scenic installations. Her works enjoy exploring the absurd as well as the practice of reimagining materials into new wholes. Much of her art works to facilitate story through the use of visuals, with an emphasis on character development through the use of costumes, scenic elements, and props. She has designed each for stage and screen, inhabiting period settings, the present, and many fantastical and abstract worlds. Ellen received her BA from Tulane University in Studio Art, Art History, and Women’s Studies and her MFA in Theatre Design (Costume and Scenic Design) from Tulane University in 2019.
