Hi, I’m Elise!
I’m a lot of things, but first and foremost I’m an artist. Not just by trade, but by the way I view life, myself, and the world. I’ve loved to draw, paint, and generally create ever since I was a small child, but handmade art continued to become more meaningful to me as I grew older.
Making, viewing, and pondering art and its relationship to life has been a great source of comfort and joy to me. The more I practice these things, the more I realize the profound and unique ways handmade art connects people across time and space.
I believe that art can be a poignant, human experience that connects the artist, the piece, and the viewer in an intimate triangle. My ambition is to bring my interpretation of that experience to my fellow human beings, and have it resonate.
If any of my existing pieces connect with you, I’m very happy!
If you have something specific in mind that you would like to see brought to fruition in an art piece, I would be honored to listen to your vision and work with you to create something unique just for you!
Thank you for visiting. I’m glad our paths crossed!
“I am broken, but I am happy to be alive as long as I can paint.” –Frida Kahlo
