About Me
I'm Elly, an artist from Ōhope, New Zealand, and I love capturing our beautiful landscapes and creating abstract art to bring more beauty to the world.
I have always enjoyed art, ever since I can remember. I love beautiful things and enjoy being surrounded by beauty. So it is my privilege now to be in a position to create beautiful artworks to share with others by capturing images in paint. After 18 years in the business world, I decided it was time for a change of pace, so at the beginning of 2023 I started my journey to becoming a full-time artist. This website is the latest step in being able to offer my artwork for sale to you, to bring what I hope is peace, beauty and harmony to your space.

Meet My Team
Meet my lovely assistants and the reason I'm always fishing cat hair out of my paintings. All three are rescues, Rosie has been with me for over four years and Aoife and Mack are two of four foster kittens from 2023/24 summer that I fell in love with and ended up keeping.

Art Director
Rosie
Rosie supervises all activity, and is particularly judgmental of the young cats and their behaviour. She is an approximately nine year old rescue and she is a very fluffy, slightly chonky, polydactal cat (she has thumbs).
Adventure Kitty
Aoife (Ee-fa)
Aoife, my adventure kitty, unfortunately passed at the end of 2025, a victim of the busy road outside my place. Always in my heart, she is missed every day!
Assistant (usually asleep)
Mack
Mack was the runt of his litter, and is a cross between a grumpy teenager and a big soft cuddly tiger. He's very talkative, loves his food, sleeps very well, and keeps me on my toes! He's a great painting assistant, usually fast asleep beside me.
