Description
Elissa grew up and currently lives in New England, and the region’s lush landscapes and changing seasons have made a lasting impact on her work, content, compositions, and color choices. Her current work centers on constructing layered, dimensional collages in response to the motifs and palette of the natural world.She meticulously hand-cuts, paints, and layers archival papers to create depth and movement within her compositions, inviting an interplay between light, shadow, and texture. These works are quietly autobiographical, evoking “remembered landscapes”and marking the passage of seasons, times of day, and significant moments. Elissa lives and works on the North Shore of Boston, where she enjoys experiencing the natural world with her family. Her work is in private and corporate collections across the country.
About this collection:
These works are explorations of the nest motif – rhythmic, layered, and verdant – and its analogies to the work of caregiving, with its desires for safety, autonomy, and the beautiful in the mundane
