A FEW WORDS: Origionally from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Now residing in Atlanta, Georgia.
My artistic expression and spiritual connection rejoice in the gifts
from the Earth...precious metals, stones, plaster, wood, sand...
and how they are also effected by the weather elements.
My mission is to create inspiration, artistically and spiritually,
in others, through many diverse mediums-evoking, expressing and
relishing in the many emotions experienced in Life.
Love & Artistic Peace,
Elise
