Elise Morris’ paintings reflect natures point of view, particularly fleeting moments of growth and change.  Finding beauty in the unexpected, she works from a deep desire to learn her natural surroundings.  Morris begins each piece with a simple line drawing and adds layers and layers of translucent paint.  The resulting paintings explore concepts of nature, at the edge of abstraction.
