Elaine Fogel

No matter what I’ve done in my life, I’ve always tried to embrace my endless creativity and passion. It’s in my DNA.

I have had a diverse career as a marketing and branding consultant, copywriter, graphic designer, author, professional speaker, singer-songwriter, educator, television show host, and nonprofit executive. I studied music and art as part of my education and I often use music to inspire my art.

I frequently use my own photos as a reference, as well as those by family, friends, and excellent fine art photographers who allow me to paint their images in my own style. Using my eye for layout, composition, and color, I frequently disappear into my landscapes, figurative subjects, portraits, and still life paintings. Although most of my work is realism, I sometimes delve into the whimsical or abstract realm.

Originally from Canada, I hold both an honors Bachelor of Fine Arts and Bachelor of Education degrees. I relocated to Arizona in 2004, becoming a U.S. citizen in 2014. I continue to grow as an artist and enjoy sharing my work with an expanding audience.
