Elsie is a native of the Pacific Northwest where the beauty of mountains, forest and water influence her art expression. She is a college art instructor in clay, graphic design and watercolor, a workshop speaker and leader, and a renowned exhibiting artist around the US.
Her art directions of calligraphy, watercolor, and mixed media clay pieces are deeply rooted in her spiritual journey. She has produced paintings with Native American prayers, inspirational spirit poetry, and New Age/Thought ideas. The fluid interaction of water, light, color and paper continue to fascinate Elsie and inspire her. Spirit moves and directs her hand as she dances with her connections to the Universe.
Her Inner-Voice guidance has led her to follow her visions. With author Sharon Kay (Warren) she has illustrated three books: One Light One Love, Long Long Ago and Angel
Fingerprints. Her spirit communicates to people of the world at a soul-level through her magical art images.
Elsie and her husband Dan, also an accomplished potter, continue to create their magical art at Dog Paw Studios in the Columbia Gorge, Washington.
