Ellis Jane Loera



Name: Ellis Jane Loera, or E.J. Loera for short.

I am an author of novels, plays, short stories, poems, articles, and vegan recipes. I also have been known to strum out original compositions on my old Martin guitar and am far too often covered in pastels or paints from visual art projects. When I am not at work writing or painting, I can generally be found on long hikes with my dogs or daydreaming about all the places I have yet to go. My goal is to one day be able to live off my art, but in the time being I have grown partial to food and shelter and bide my time as a graphic designer and a dog groomer. More information about me, as well as links to some of my works and a list of publications, can be found at my website.

Inspiration can be found in the most unexpected places. I tend to carry post-it notes in my pockets so I can easily jot down an idea when the lightning bolt of inspiration chooses to strike. The themes that have often driven my written work - whether consciously or subconsciously - are the themes of what it means to be human and exploring that fine line where sanity melts into madness. Also as someone who copes with panic disorder on a daily basis, this aspect of myself has a tendency to seep into my work allegorically as well. My paintings are usually inspired by a color that I spot, immediately become infatuated with, and then the image springs around the color. I am always open to requests and have done a handful of commissions in my time as well.
