Angela Ellsworth (b. 1964) is a multidisciplinary artist based in the southwestern United States, working primarily in painting, drawing, sculpture, and performance. Her solo and collaborative works engage diverse subjects including physical fitness, endurance, illness, social ritual, and religious tradition—examining how ritual, myth, and tradition move across cultures and generations.
Spanning historical research and contemporary themes, Ellsworth draws on personal history to highlight both mystical and physical forms of knowing. Her work navigates bodily and metaphysical realms, referencing rituals passed down through generations alongside her Utah upbringing to expand notions of the invisible and unknown.
As a feminist, Ellsworth reimagines groups of women from her polygamist ancestry as a lens through which to explore her own contemporary homosocial experiences. She is particularly interested in the convergence of art and everyday life, where public and private experiences collide in unexpected and transformative ways.
