Peter Ellenshaw
PETER ELLENSHAW — Peter Ellenshaw, whose artistic career spans more than six decades, is a renowned landscape artist, motion picture art director, and Disney artist.
In 1947, his work caught the attention of an art director for the Walt Disney Studios. Disney was in the pre-planning stages of his very first live-action film, Treasure Island, which would be produced in Great Britain and the art director inquired if Ellenshaw would be interested in the project. Thus began a professional collaboration and friendship with Walt Disney that would span over 30 years and 34 films.
Peter Ellenshaw regarded Walt Disney as a source of inspiration, a wonderful executive, and over the years, a good friend. "Walt had the ability to communicate with artists", recalls Ellenshaw. "He'd talk to you on your level - artist to artist. He used to say, "I can't draw, Peter". But he had the soul of an artist, and he had a wonderful way of transferring his enthusiasm to you".
In 1953 the Ellenshaws moved from Great Britain to the United States where Peter began working full-time for the Walt Disney Studios. Ellenshaw maintained his identity as a traditional landscape artist during his Disney years and always found time evenings and weekends to work on his own canvases.
