Ted Ellis graduated over twenty years ago  from Dillard University with a B.S. in Chemistry degree and worked as an Environmental chemist for eight years. He then began his professional career as a full-time artist, receiving national recognition and acclaim with his narrative paintings about African American history, culture, and lifestyle. His desire and interest to further impact the world of art lead him to obtain his  M.A. in Museum Studies at Southern University New Orleans. That learning experience was priceless.

Currently, he is the Vice-Chair for the 400 Years of African American History Commission and Committee Chair for Preservation of African American History: Entertainment, Sports and Cultu
