Art has always been a passion for Elisa and her parents Rick and Laura. With both parents being very creative and artistic--Rick minored in Art, it was only natural that Elisa would also love artwork. Of course, most of her drawings and doodles as a child were of horses, and still to this day that is her main focus in her artwork. She graduated with a BA in Studio Art from Georgia State and her main focus was creating life size horses made out of found parts of steel. Her main inspirations for her art has been the work of Leonardo Davinci, Picasso,and Georgia O'keefe just to name a few.
Although school was a great place for her to run free with her ideas, and ample access to great tools, she has not been able to create her life size horses since. But it is a major goal to create them again, in the mean time she still loves to draw with charcoal and create pieces for friends and family.
