bespoke pieces

Whether you're ready to commission your piece or would like to develop a concept together, a great starting point is sending through your inspo pics, a mood board or colour palette (and if you're not quite there yet, that's okay - we can narrow it down together.) *Click on the colour palette link to check out my mood board on Pinterest.
Consultations are custom-fit to your preferences: chat, text, voice memo, video call - just let me know what works best for you.
To understand your aesthetic and preferences, we’ll chat through a few guiding questions to gauge your yes’s and no’s, and check in on size, location, and timeline.
Quoting a bespoke piece is shaped by the size, materials, complexity and any special elements that make the artwork uniquely yours.
If we’re working within a specific budget, I can provide an overview of options based on scale, feel and price point.
A progress check-in will be offered before varnish is applied, giving you a chance to confirm or tweak the final touches.
Once you're ready to begin, a 30% deposit will be requested, with the balance finalised prior to handover. Flexible split-payment plans are available if needed.
Postage, pick-u or delivery will be tailored to your situation on a case-by-case basis.
An initial chat helps set expectations: because clarity enables safety and confidence. And because art is deeply emotional, I want you to rest assured.

elle’s ethos

Living with a chronic illness (Narcolepsy) means life is scheduled and run to a strict medication schedule.

My art process has developed into a dance with the unpredictable – a surrender both on purpose and by design. An antidote of sorts.

After sculpting the initial layers by hand, what truly makes each piece come alive are the final fluid layers - which control their own course.

Starting with a base of natural materials :: recycled paper, clay, ash, sand, gypsum, charcoal, marble dust, chalk, coffee/tea grounds :: I create a texture bed. A bare ‘scape’.

For colour :: a selection of bisters, mica pigments and fluid acrylic inks :: encasing them in a non-toxic, water-based liquid binder medium.

My signature style involves a continuous coaxing rather than forceful control of the elements. It isn't making or mixing; it's an offering and a suggestion - the liquid decides it’s final form. I like the thrill (& slight risk) of allowing the materials to find their own way to the finish line. Its either trust or recklessness, I haven’t decided yet.

Each artwork develops as I step away to sleep; the binder moves and settles into the nooks within the texture bed, forming the intricate terrains that define my style.

The moment each piece is complete is unmistakable – but always a surprise to me. Sometimes weeks or many months. Welcomed but never with a predictable eta.
