Hi I’m Eli.
Light and love are infused into the art that I co-create with mother nature. We are all given gifts, and part of my purpose is to embrace and embody creativity. I make with the intent to raise the vibration and consciousness of other souls. I am inspired by nature, connection, growth, joy & abundance.
I’m an artist.
My work is inspired by nature and indigenous wisdom. It is often playful, meant to be an interaction with the viewer—not separate from, but a conversation with.
I love nature.
Growing up in a rural beach town, the access to nature has informed my development as an artist (and a human being too!). Creative expression fills my heart. I love to sing, write, garden, cook, design and make visual art.
I make books.
Children’s books and coloring books are exciting formats for the work to connect with other souls. They are meant to be a safe container for others to play and co-create in. My goal is to spread warmth & healing as folks interact with my practice.
I do commissions!
I enjoy the intimacy of commissions. It is fulfilling to give shape, form and life to another’s idea. These projects include family portraits (sometimes as mice), pet portraits, gift certificates, posters, and other creative illustrations.
I garden.
I’m a life-long gardener and have been focusing the last several years on California native plants in garden design. Plants are nature’s living palette, and I’m thrilled to work with them in reciprocal relationship.
