Elise Mendelle Elise Mendelle is a Canadian painter living and working in London, UK. Her expressive brushstrokes and stripped back subjects are aimed at capturing a moment in time and asking the viewer, 'what happens next'? Elise is inspired by the simplicity of these everyday moments and how they link to a deeper understanding of what is going on behind a person's outer veneer. Elise has benefited from weekly tuition and mentoring for a number of years developing her practice and cultivating a loose and rhythmical style. Interest in her work has grown, with her paintings now part of collections worldwide. She has exhibited in Rome, London, Madrid, Luxembourg, and New York and her art is part of collections in Canada, Australia, Italy, France, USA, South Africa and other countries around the world.
