About EP (Elaine Piechowski) 

​

Elaine Piechowski was born, raised and educated in Southern California. She’s been painting since a young child, first in water color, then oil and acrylic. She chose book publishing as a career, but made a promise to herself that she’d create at least six paintings a year. She often creates more than six a year.  

 

About twenty years ago, she started creating with mixed media and hasn’t stopped. She says, “the most gratifying sort of creating is when I’m alone with a blank canvas and have no idea of design, just a thought I’m trying to work out in my head. I let myself be the medium and the emotion does the art. After a while, the composition presents itself to me on the canvas and my instincts and training kick in.”  Many of her paintings and collages start that way, including the recent Wildfires & Wildflowers series.

 

She currently splits her time between Venice and Lake Hughes, CA, where she lives with her husband, who is also an artist, and fluffy cat Oliver.
