Swamp Mahogany (aka Lou Ellen) explores the magical dance between the inner world and outer ecosystems, in and around relationship to self, others and environment. Her works are rooted in the Earth and expand to capture the spirits in the spaces between.

Primarily a painter, Swamp Mahogany uses her lived experiences, ecology studies, meditations and time exploring the bush to capture all that is existing within this timeline and across others. Each work is a manifestation of deep feeling and an embrace of the unknown.

This site displays visual works that span across painting into drawing, tattooing and eventually story telling. Join me on this new and exciting adventure. I hope to share these creations across the world and look forward to what is to come.
