Jade Ellis (b. 1999, Buffalo, New York) is a New York City–based mixed media artist working across textile, metal, design, and poetry. Her practice explores tenderness and tension through handwork. Stitching, layering, bending, assembling— transforming intimate materials into emotional objects.

In 2022, she released her self-published poetry collection, The Art of Being Moved by Something, a meditation on feeling deeply and without apology. Since then, she has exhibited textile works including UNTITLED QUILT, ALPHA BIB, I DON’T WANT TO DREAM, and CLOUDY INSIDE in two exhibitions with the Harsh Collective gallery.

Her metal sculpture ANGEL HARDWARE extends her interest in duality — softness structured in steel. The piece has appeared in editorial work for NYC-based designers Angels Boutique and Monija, and in 2late Magazine. Her collaborative design work and detailed embroidery have also been featured in WWD.

Rooted in vulnerability but refined through structure, Jade’s work exists somewhere between garment and artifact. Something to be worn, held, or remembered.
