Artist

Visual Arts · Brisbane, QLD

Ella Doyle is a Brisbane based artist and an Autism advocate whose bold, colourful practice explores popular culture, alternative music and the natural mysteries of the world. Working with traditional drawing and painting media, Ella brings together image-making, storytelling, advocacy and sensory design to create work that supports comfort, connection and inclusivity for people with diverse sensory needs. Guided by her ethos “I believe,” her practice is imaginative, expressive and deeply connected to identity, curiosity and community. Ella brought her drawings to life in a collaboration for the animation Teresa the Tasmanian Tiger, featured in AMPLIFY ME! the Brisbane City Council’s Outdoor Gallery.

About their work

Ella Doyle’s artwork, Teresa the Tasmanian Tiger, brings together animation, storytelling, popular culture and natural history to reimagine the Thylacine as a living presence in contemporary imagination. Through Teresa, Ella’s message of ‘I Believe’ stands firm and invites audiences to look at extinction, misunderstood histories and the power of imagination. Ella’s practice is also shaped by her love of music and animals. She has created portraits of music icons including Ringo Starr, while her deep affection for animals continues to inspire her characters, stories and artworks.
