Ellen Stedfeld and “My Place in Queens” Map
A native New Yorker, I was inspired from an early age to draw the world around me, and create my own masterpieces like those seen in art museums.
With a lifelong love of both reading and art, I naturally gravitated to forms of visual storytelling such as picture books, animation, and manga/comics.
After years of training, I have continued to express this passion for creativity by engaging in original and collaborative artwork as a freelance illustrator.
Many of my concoctions include an interactive element, engaging the viewer, making them privy to the process and inviting them to become a participant.
You can find me drawing at comic shops, conventions, music shows, theaters, open mics, panel discussions, along the subways & wherever my travels lead!
