a little about my story
About Elaine
I have always wanted to be a visual artist from an early age in my life. In college my journey took me from the art room to the commercial Interior Design field, where I was an Interior Designer for 20 years. In the early 2000s, I began to dedicate my professional work towards sustainability and co-founded a sustainability consultancy firm for 16 years of which a specialty engineering firm later acquired. Today, I still support, environmental awareness, sit on several boards and support sustainability projects on a global stage while painting and being in nature as often as possible.
My goal with my art is to help the viewer appreciate the natural environment that we live in along with the creatures that inhabit our earth. Conservation and protection of the natural world is at the heart of everything that I do, and I continue to focus on subjects in nature that help to depict that message either with subtle or obvious intention.
What lessons did I learn during these past 40 years?
Speaking truth, demonstrating integrity, being courageous, and leading by example has guided me on my professional and artistic journey. I have found that life is a balance. It is a bit of art, science, and craft.
Today, I offer you my artistic journey, I hope that you enjoy! Read about my artistic process.
