Painting

Elise has been mostly working with oil on canvas for many years. She enjoys dabbling occasionally with watercolours and acrylics as well, but nothing is as lovely as oil paint, is it? 

Drawing

Elise mostly draws with graphite or coloured pencils on paper. Here are some examples from over the years.

Photography

Elise loves to notice the small details, and being able to capture that and share it is the best.

Sculpture

Elise's favorite thing is to go to beaches all over the world and make temporary sand sculptures. She also enjoys ceramics and making pieces out of found objects.
