Elaine is a native of North Carolina and a resident of Greenville NC. 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. The chosen medium is acrylic. The unique paintings are create by adding heavy texture that adds movement and interest, a feeling of movement in the waves and wind. It evokes the feeling of sea spray lightly misting your face and sand between your toes, making the viewer feel present on the picturesque coast. Elaine is a self-taught artist.
