I am interested in the stories history chose not to tell
Inspired by women whose voices were overlooked and whose stories were often recorded through the lens of others, my work begins with research. Through portraiture and landscape, I explore themes of resilience, identity and remembrance, bringing forgotten stories from the margins to the centre of the conversation.

About the Artist
Hi, my name is Elise.
Inspired by a strong single mother and a fascination with history, I create paintings that explore the stories of women whose voices have often been overlooked.
I am currently working on a series inspired by convict women and remarkable women from Australian history, drawing inspiration from the people and landscapes of Melbourne, Gippsland and North Adelaide.
