Elaine is a resident of Greenville NC.  As a self-taught artist her creative journey is deeply connected to nature.  She finds a connection with outdoors and the appreciation to the beauty that surrounds us as inspiration.   She is known for her bold, expressive use of heavy texture, layering thick strokes to create depth and dimension

Many of her art pieces are of the beach and sailboats because she is inspired by the waves, beach animals and sunsets. The beach has always been her favorite place to visit for some relaxation and you can frequently find her planning a getaway to the beautiful beaches of North Carolina for her art inspiration.
