about.
Meet Jenny Ellsworth, a passionate welder whose journey into the world of metalwork ignited in 2004. Entranced by the crackle, pop, and sparks of high-voltage electricity melding two pieces of metal, Jenny discovered her calling to create.
Initially Jenny delved into metal fabrication for commercial properties, refining her skills and artistry. She soon recognized the unexplored possibilities within salvaged materials. In 2006, Jenny embarked on a new chapter, driven by her desire to breathe life into forgotten materials. Her sculptures, inspired by the intricate beauty of plants and critters, resonating with organic beauty and meticulous craftsmanship, found a home in nurseries and galleries, captivating audiences with their intricate detail and emotive presence.
Through her sculptures, Jenny lends a voice to the disregarded and celebrates the innate beauty found in repurposed materials, inviting others to see the world through her creative lens.
Today, Jenny spends most of her time in her shop. Her creations are installed throughout the Pacific Northwest, each piece a testament to her unwavering dedication to her craft and her innate ability to transform raw materials into captivating works of art.
Join Jenny on her journey as she continues to redefine what is possible with metal, one awe-inspiring creation at a time.
