Born on March 18, 1924 in Pärnu, Estonia. Ellen studied fashion design and illustration at the State School of Art in Tallinn, Estonia; illustration at the Art Students’ League, New York; painting at Monterey Peninsula College in California. Worked as a fashion and commercial artist in Montreal, New York, Monterey, California and Toronto. Taught fashion design and illustration at Ellen Peterson Fashion Institute for 15 years and evening courses at the Toronto Board of Education. Exhibited in group shows in New York, Estonian House; Baltimore, Esto U.S.A.; Kiwanis Club Annual Exhibition; O’Keefe Centre, Toronto, Canada; EKKT Art Show. Member of EKKT. Works in private collections. Resides currently at the Estonian Retirement home, Ehatare in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Ellen Bishop is the only Estonian born fashion design artist who made a name for herself in the North American fashion industry prior to the introduction of computers in the early 80’s. Ellen is also proudly Estonian and her works depicting Estonian Folk costumes grace many Estonian public buildings and Estonian homes. Her works are also available for purchase and viewing in her gallery at the virtual gallery at www.tevag.ca.

Ellen contributes her longevity to the love of sports in her early years, where she was a huge tennis enthusiast. To keep her mind sharp, she was also a lover of the card game bridge, where she always found partners to play with.

Ellen Bishop has been a long standing member of the Society of Estonian Artists in Toronto (EKKT), and has exhibited in many shows and supported the Society through donations.

Wishing Ellen all the best as she celebrates 100 years of circumventing the sun. She has left her footprint in the fashion world and has significantly helped preserve Estonian culture through her artwork. Born a day after St. Patrick’s Day, let’s all raise a glass and toast Ellen Bishop on her milestone birthday!
