I have seen Elaine’s work and have always been amazed by her energy and loose, fast brush strokes. Spaces full of light and color, freshness; large dimensions defying the easy.

An obsession with the face seen as a cosmos. Emerging apparitions, inquisitive presences, memories of the memory.

There is a singular vision of seeing and appreciating the human figure: there is an atmosphere of authenticity in her attitude, an understood process, a benign game between human figure and abstraction. Elaine’s vision signals to other figurative painters to break with the academic, abandon traditional regression, and contribute forms and content of contemporary expression.
