A Life in Colour: Ellis O'Connor
Ellis O’Connor’s studio on Skye’s south coast.
Words by Laura Anne Brown · Photographs by Simon Hird
Printed in Issue Nine of Hidden Scotland Magazine, Autumn and Winter 2024–25.
Where wind and waves meet Skye’s south coast, a small building borders a white stone cottage. It used to store wood. Now, inside, there’s a sea of colour.
Endlessly inspired by the elements, Ellis O’Connor’s life on the Isle of Skye is as distinct as her artwork.

An easel. A palette thick with paint, the shades of this place: blue, green, browns and blacks. Today the doors are open and whoever’s inside can see past the trees to the mountains beyond.
