Five on the First

May 2026
Josiah Ellner

“A desire and longing for connections that transcend the physical world and enter into the spiritual realm. My work explores the deeper ties that we have with the earth and the relationship we yearn to cultivate with the divine. My paintings center around moments of reflection and contemplation, where playful narratives are weaved into the everyday, creating space for wonder and imagination to ebb and flow as they wish. New potentials are unlocked when the logical, assumed, and “the known” are questioned and approached with renewed eyes. This deep belief and desire to see new possibilities invites a quiet magic to occur in the most ordinary of moments.”
