Welcome to Elise Saur Art!
Fun with Color!
Do your walls crave bright artwork full of joy and happiness? Could you use colorful positivity in your life? You've found the right place!
I'm a self-taught abstract artist near Richmond, Virginia. You'll find loads of color and texture in my original acrylic paintings.
My Artwork Evolution
I've enjoyed a versatile career working full time within multiple fields: education (preschool/elementary teacher), marketing (analyst at a large Do-it-Yourself company), and the self-storage industry (operations manager for a software/business platform used by thousands of facilities.
Of course, full time employment meant few minutes to spare. Luckily during each maternity leave from work, I discovered "extra time" to explore and re-energize with art! At first, I just painted to put artwork on our walls and bring color into our lives.
When my husband's job moved our family of five across the country, I quit my corporate gig and became a stay-at-home mama. Eventually I found more opportunities to let loose creatively.
Painting Methods
For me, there are no rules; it's all about color. Primarily I use acrylics on canvas. To texturize and create movement-rich designs I'll often include additives and extras. Paint brushes are optional. I often experiment with regular household items and tools.
Colors, textures and patterns I encounter inspire my work, along with a vivid imagination. Sometimes my three boys and extremely supportive husband influence it too! Ultimately, I hope my artwork spreads joy and lifts the spirits of all who encounter it.
