Elaine has been a member of PASA almost since its inception in 2001 and served as a committee member for many years.She has found PASA very supportive and helpful in her growth as an artist with being able to attend workshops and watch demonstrations each month.

Elaine's main love is doing still life paintings especially large vases of flowers. She has tutored students in the past and judged art shows.

She started her artistic career doing watercolours for many years, painting in a studio and also en plein air landscapes. She also does portraits in pastel.
