Collection: ORIGINALS

Elena loves studying nature in all its forms and capturing it in her highly detailed watercolour paintings. New Zealand is at the heart of her creations, but nature is her general muse. An enthusiastic botanical artist, Elena works from fresh reference subjects whenever possible, using reference pictures when not. All paintings are painted only on 100% high-quality cotton paper, using archival, professional watercolours.

Original artworks are sold both on our website and through representing galleries. Original works in progress are often shared on our Instagram and Facebook accounts.
