Her early career as a fine jewelry designer working for Harry Winston, Bailey, Banks and Biddle, Zales, as well as many other manufacturers, which spanned 25 years and many continents.

As a full time artist working in oil on linen, Elise’s works include large scale contemporary still lives, as well as portraits and landscapes. She loves painting the beauty she sees in everyday and mundane objects, especially ones that are woven into our lives that we take for granted.
