"Contemporary wall art inspired by nature"

Elle is a Textile Artist based in the Midlands UK, born in Canada.

Originally gaining her degree in Three-dimensional Design & Silversmithing at Loughborough University, she has since been drawn to larger-scale wall art using natural fibers, to adorn private residences and businesses all over the world.

She is especially influenced by rugged coastal landscapes and luscious overgrown woodlands. These are often explored as a family of 3 in the North Cornish/Devon coastline, or the mountainous National Parks and waterfalls in the North of the UK.

Drawing inspiration from these sources, Elle creates contemporary pieces that embrace the beauty of irregular patterns found in nature: either literally in her landscape themed works or in the composition of an abstract piece.

“I want people to look at my work and imagine their favorite place in nature, where they feel calm, completely at peace and the anxieties of everyday life can simply fade away.”

Elle uses the technique of traditional weaving and her own signature knots. She hand makes all the wood frames herself to the highest standards, to achieve full flexibility and precision in her designs and bespoke pieces. Enabling each work of art to be a true one-of-a-kind, much like nature’s offerings.
