about the artist

Formerly known as “Noirnicorn”

Ellie started her artistic journey as soon as she was able to pick up a pencil. From the time she had her first "art show" in kindergarten (a collection of large blob paintings that all somewhat resembled Winnie the Pooh), she’s had a passion for creating with her hands.

She started freelancing back in 2012 as a Graphic Designer & Research Assistant for a Bio-Tech company, which evolved into more projects as her skills were honed. Over time, she also became a Filmmaker, Illustrator, and published Writer, working primarily in non-fiction.

Glimmoires (pronounced “glimmers”) is an alias for her passion fueled project & art shop that strives to combine gothic fantasy, fae lore, and African-American folklore influence together in order to create unique content in several mediums. From comics to wearable art, her main mission is to weave storytelling and character within each piece. 

She also hopes her art brings a sense of playfulness yet retain a level of introspection. Elements of cultural identity, mental health, and the soft side of sexuality make appearances throughout her work.
