ABOUT ELISE MENDELLE: AWARD WINNING FIGURATIVE ARTIST
Hi, I’m Elise!
My journey to being an artist didn't start in a gallery, with some defining moment of artistic clarity…it actually started on the school run when another Mum spotted a painting l'd made purely for myself and asked whether it was for sale.
That is the moment the story begins, because it captures the essence that runs through absolutely everything I make: the idea that the version of you you’ve envisioned was always there, you just needed the confidence to find it. I see it in my work and I see it in the women who end up collecting it.
"I could look at it all day. I sit on the sofa with my morning coffee and look at it every morning. It's gives me so much joy!!" - Katie
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!
AWARDS & FEATURES
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.
