hi, i’m elise.

i suppose you can say that my curiosity with the human condition is split into three related questions:

• how do we change? and become people that we’re proud of

• what makes life rich and meaningful? relationships, beauty, creative expression

• why do we experience the world the way we do? behaviour, emotions, psychological states

my practice centres on painting, writing and musing on these questions…and i like to think that my work invites people to think.

at the moment i’m particularly interested in relationships, connection, circular form, colour and emotion.

i’m a British, self-taught artist based in London. i have a scientific background and built a career in the pharmaceutical industry.

after many years away from painting, in March 2026 i committed to building my practice from scratch.

i discovered i could paint quite by accident in 2016…i’ll write the story in my Substack studio journal soon.
