  Ellen Kristina Abelli Elander (born 25 June 1952) is a Swedish artist. She received her education at Birkagårdens folkhögskola between 1972 and 1973, and made her solo debut at Galleri Händer in Stockholm in 1978. Early on, she worked with paintings in acrylic and canvas, and openly criticized the gender issues of the time.
  
  She released several drawings during the 1980s and 2000s in the comic books Galago and Hjälp! She later worked with larger room installations and wall paintings, and figures in ceramics and textiles that have been shown in the gallery Schaper & Sundberg in Stockholm.
