For the past twenty years Ellen Weinstein has produced compelling images for a wide range of clients including The New York Times, The Washington Post, Master Card, Humana Festival, and Random House. Recently she has expanded her practice of visual storytelling to writing and illustrating books for children and adults.
Ellen illustrated the children’s book Yayoi Kusama: From Here to Infinity, published by the Museum of Modern Art, and wrote and illustrated Recipes for Good Luck, published by Chronicle Books.
In celebration of the upcoming Yayoi Kusama: Infinity Mirrors exhibit at the Cleveland Museum of Art, Ellen Weinstein brings her design and story telling experience to Cleveland. Ellen will speak about her illustration work and will offer her insights on image making, publishing, and shifting course mid-career.
