Elise's paintings are vivid representations of the countryside, celebrating blue skies, bright seas and colourful flowers. Living and working in Dunblane, she takes advantage of her central location to travel to the Western Isles, Fife and the North of Scotland to seek out inspiration for new paintings.

Elise was born and educated in central Scotland and studied art to Higher level at school. However, a maths degree followed by a career in Finance took her to London for 16 years. She moved with her family and three young children to Dunblane in 2004 and soon resumed her work as an artist. She shows at galleries round Scotland and also has her own established website and online gallery.
