Ellsworth studied at Hampshire College, in Amherst, Massachusetts, where she received a bachelor's degree in fine art, and graduated from the Mason Gross School of the Arts of Rutgers University in New Brunswick, New Jersey with a Master of Fine Arts degree in performance and painting.[5]
Ellsworth has exhibited at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Sydney, Australia, and at the Arizona State University Art Museum in Tempe, Arizona.[5] She is one of the founders of the Museum of Walking, which occupies a small room at the Arizona State University Tempe campus. [6] The work exhibited in the Museum of Walking consists of actual steps and is made of stitch images over maps. Ellsworth claims 'its a connection to the person, the landscape that relates to that person.'[1] Four of Ellsworth's works are in the UMFA's permanent collection.
