Elaine Smith
"I'm driven by the pure joy of being creative.”
Elaine has been living and creating art in the Comox Valley for over 30 years. Her creative spirit finds inspiration while out exploring the natural landscape, whether it's colours and patterns observed while kayaking, hiking or cycling or just simply walking in her neighbourhood. She is passionate about the abstract process and feels that it allows the true artist in her to apply paint in a personal and intimate way. She views her art as a form of visual storytelling and that creating art is an act that invites the artist and the viewer to create meaning and story within themselves. “I hope my art brings some enjoyment, curiosity and/or possibly eliciting the viewer to create a personal story or emotion(s) with which they can relate."
