Raised in Wales Wisconsin, Elissa Ewald is the youngest of three. She started drawing at the age of seven, becoming a self-taught artist using both acrylic & oil paints. Often finds inspiration through her own works using new technics she finds along the way. Halfway through high school her family moved two hours north to the small town of Coloma Wisconsin. She then spent many days walking through her parent’s property enjoying the calm of the trees and finding wild lady slippers growing among the pines. She had plenty of opportunity to study nature in all its splendor. As she continued to paint throughout her life, art became a way of expressing her passion for life experiences with her husband and their two children. Elissa has collections of works she is very passionate about: Buddies & Critters, Pathways, The Forgotten & Florals (inspired by her gardens)
