Narrative Art Capturing the African American Experience with Ted Ellis

Learn how art celebrates American history, culture and lifestyle.

Ted Ellis graduated over twenty years ago  from Dillard University with a B.S. in Chemistry degree and worked as an Environmental chemist for eight years. He then began his professional career as a full-time artist, receiving national recognition and acclaim with his narrative paintings about African American history, culture, and lifestyle. His desire and interest to further impact the world of art lead him to obtain his  M.A. in Museum Studies at Southern University New Orleans. That learning experience was priceless. His master thesis project, "400 Years African Commemorative Art Exhibition: Chronicling the African American Struggle, Resiliency, Perseverance and Triumph from 1619 to 2019” debuted in Washington, D.C. and is now at Old Dominion University. Currently, he is the Vice-Chair for the 400 Years of African American History Commission and Committee Chair for Preservation of African American History: Entertainment, Sports and Culture. This federal commission was established by Public Law 115-102.
