Ellora Duncan is an artist and farmer living on Coast Salish land in Bellingham, Washington. She grew up in Western Montana (Séliš territory) where her childhood was spent immersed in the creeks, hills, and woodlands of the Bitterroot Valley. 

Her desire to connect deeply with the land and the communities she inhabits led her to work on vegetable farms across the region, and study sustainable food systems, art, and wilderness studies at the University of Montana. Ellora moved to the Pacific Northwest in 2016 and has been running City Sprouts Farm—a food-access–focused educational farm in Bellingham—since 2018.

Her work aims to honor the materials used to create each piece by offering care, time, attention, and spaciousness—allowing each handmade object to develop a voice of its own. Whether she is making a teapot, a painting, or teaching young people how to grow cabbages, her hope is that her work encourages slowing down, paying attention, and noticing the abundant, sensual nature of our lived experience.
