Galway girl catches eye of Kim Kardashian

An Irish digital artist has won the admiration of reality star and fashionista Kim Kardashian.

Ellen McCann, who lives in Galway, is known to family and friends as Nelle, the name she adopted for her art practice just over a year ago.

An email sent on behalf of Kim Kardashian a few weeks ago asked Ellen for permission to use her illustrations on her website and app.
