Originally from the Catskill Mountains of upstate New York, Elisa completed her BFA at the Rochester Institute of Technology. Much of her work is influenced by organic motifs due to spending a childhood outdoors and accompanying her father on veterinary adventures. Always a passionate traveler, she has also studied and worked abroad in Argentina.

While her traditional illustrations are based in watercolor painting and oils, in recent years she has been honing in on her digital skills. When she is not illustrating she can be found making jewelry, snapping photos, hiking, playing volleyball or brushing up on her Spanish.

Questions or comments? She would love to hear from you! elisa.plance@gmail.com.
