About the Artist
Personal
Elaine was born, educated and married in New York City. Shortly after their wedding, Elaine and her husband moved to Washington DC where they raised two sons. While there, she earned a Fine Arts degree from American University and worked voraciously as an artist. For a decade, she exhibited her work in many museums and venues.
Fueled by a desire to earn more income for her family, Elaine started a travel agency in 1974 and ran a successful business for 14 years until she sold it in 1988. From there she traveled the world and visited every continent. Her travels left many impressions in her subconscious mind and she wondered what she would do next. Much to her surprise, her husband proposed taking their motor sailor from Chesapeake Bay to the Bahamas and cruise the Islands for six months. Since this was his dream retirement trip, she obliged and upon their return, she committed to bringing all of her experiences back to life through painting.
