Hello, I'm Elle France.

Hi there​,​ I'm Elle France​,​ an abstract realism and Plein Air artist based in Perth​,​ Western Australia. Welcome to my page! Here’s a little about me. I've been practising art since 2022 and spent the previous 40 years teaching and inspiring students. My love of contrasting light with casting shadows in nature​,​ in still life​,​ or on faces has always been a source of inspiration for me and is characteristic of my art style. My practice is centred around drawing and colour theory​,​ which I've developed through my formal studies in art and design​,​ painting​,​ printmaking​,​ and ceramics. I've always been drawn to the great masters​,​ including movements from Impressionism to Contemporary Modern Art and everything in between​,​ as each offers a particularly interesting aspect for me to hone in on. I’m grateful to be able to do what I love for a living and have been a finalist in several art awards. I exhibit my work locally​,​ interstate​,​ and internationally. Bluethumb has been a great supporter of my art​,​ with my work being selected and featured in several of their curations. Additionally​,​ my work is consistently chosen for Staff Picks.
