Take a peek at some of our past work
Elise has exhibited her work in galleries in Sydney, Australia as well as a handful of cafes and galleries in Toronto, Ontario during her time living there.
In 2023 Elise was selected out of 800 applications to travel to Palm Springs and teach her Crown of Splendour workshop at Alt Summit!
In 2024 Elise was asked to illustrate her very first book with Kelsey Klos called Plum Pudding. It’s a celebration of the Holiday season and family recipes.
You can often find Elise at local markets here in Calgary or wandering around gleaming inspiration with a coffee in hand and Pippin her little doggie sidekick!
