Art that leaves you feeling inspired, confident and stepping into the best version of yourself.
Art for women just like you.
My figurative paintings are of women - in moments of pause, power or confidence. Each person who looks at a piece brings their own story to it, and I think that's what makes my collectors describe my paintings the way they do: not as something beautiful on the wall, but as something that gives them strength on a difficult morning, or that they look at with their coffee every day and feel something in them settle.
I started a series years ago called 'Owning It' - which was about exactly what it sounds like, owning your narrative and the version of yourself you're in the process of building. And even as my style has evolved toward something more minimalist and expressive, that thread has never really left the work, as more and more, it has become a belief that I hold myself.
BECOME AN ART COLLECTOR
Most of my collectors are not seasoned art buyers - they're everyday art lovers who saw a piece of original figurative art and felt something they couldn't quite explain. They just knew that it spoke to them, or it gave them a powerful feeling: and so if something here is speaking to you, l'd really encourage you to trust it.

MEET ELISE MENDELLE: AWARD WINNING FIGURATIVE ARTIST
Hi, I’m Elise!
My artistic journey gained momentum when I was selected from over 900 applicants for a major exhibition in Rome - a defining moment that propelled my work onto the international stage. Since then, my original figurative paintings and limited edition prints have been shown in Paris, New York, Madrid, Lisbon and London and my work now lives in collectors' homes across the UK, Europe, North America and Australia!
I don't agree that you need an art degree, a certain kind of home or specific level of income to buy something that you’ve connected with. And I absolutely do not believe that to invest in art you need a more impressive reason than the fact that it moves you. Traditionally, the art world has done a remarkably good job of convincing people that investment value and prestige are the only legitimate reasons to collect, when actually the best reason has always been the simplest one - that you just really, really love it.
