Ellie Fritz

Overview
Ellie Fritz

Ellie Fritz is a full time artist who lives and works in Marin County, CA. Her work is deeply rooted in printmaking, combining traditional print processes with painting and drawing.

 

"At its core, my work is a meditation on time and space—the unseen forces that contain us. The unfolding of time is deeply embedded in my process, as each gesture and decision becomes a marker of presence. Through abstraction, I don’t just create visual experiences — I cultivate a deeper understanding of my place in the world."

 

Fritz completed both her BFA (2004) and MFA (2008) at SFAI and has received several honors, including the Spring Show Award (2004), and a Teaching Assistantship (2008), both at SFAI. In 2008, Fritz was an artist-in-residence at KALA Art Institute and recently completed her stay as the 2019 artist-in-residence at the Marin Museum of Contemporary Art (Marin MOCA). She was featured in Studio Visit Magazine in 2010 and has taught through extension programs in San Francisco, including ACE at the San Francisco Art Institute. Fritz lives and works at her studio in Marin County, California.
