New Artist - Ela Hardy
Oil Painting is Ela’s passion.
Having dabbled with all other mediums, she loves the richness and the depth that can be obtained with oil paint, and the way it comes to life on the canvas. Ela is most interested in still life, especially big, ripe, juicy fruit and loves to add a touch of surrealism to her paintings.
EDUCATION
She has spent the last 10 years being taught many techniques by several very experienced teachers and has successfully exhibited each year in local exhibitions and at several venues. She has spent the last 5 years with Greg O’Leary who is a very talented, well known artist
