Biography

Born in 1986, Madison, WI, US

Ellen Siebers is a painter based in Hudson, NY. Her paintings, often small in scale, evoke precious windows, expansive in texture and depth, of diffused, dappled spaces of memory.
Siebers received her BFA from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2008 and her MFA from the University of Iowa in 2012. Siebers was awarded the Elizabeth Greenshields Grant (2023), Vermont Studio Center Grant (2014), the University of Iowa Quarter-time Teaching Assistantship (2009-12), the Iowa Quarter-time Fellowship (2009), and the Mildred Pelzer Lynch Fellowship (2011-12).
Her recent solo and group exhibitions include: Parrasch Heijnen (Los Angeles, CA); The Approach (London, UK); Dans les yeux D’Elsa (Paris, FR); Harper’s Gallery (East Hampton, NY); MARCH (New York, NY), among others. Parrasch Heijnen held the gallery’s first solo exhibition of Siebers’ work entitled dream song, in 2023. Ellen Siebers is represented by Parrasch Heijnen, Los Angeles, CA.
