About Elmarie

My work draws from an intense interest in the play between photographic and painterly media, as well as contemporary interest in the philosophy around the animal and art. I tend to focus specifically on companion animals but I am also interested in current re-workings of traditional concepts surrounding landscapes. I work with my own photographs and found images which I rework in miniature before printing it on a large scale. I often rework the final surface as well.
