Bavarian-born artist Ellen Giggenbach now hails from New Zealand, where she lives in a beautiful little village across from Wellington, with her husband and two sons. Giggenbach's love of mid-century design and simple, beautiful shapes is reflected in her artworks. Skillful use of collage and unusual colour combinations create designs that have a folksy, Scandinavian feel to them. Her work translates beautifully into contemporary prints for the home.
