Hi! I’m Elaine, a freelance illustrator, surface designer, and plant enthusiast. My art is described as charming and whimsical, drawing inspiration from nature, travel, urban landscapes, and patterns. My go-to art tools are watercolor, gouache, and colored pencils.

When I'm not drawing, you'll find me flâneuring, dog stalking, reading or gardening 🌼.

Let’s create art together…
