ABOUT THE ARTIST
Elena Valerie Art is a premier art studio located in Gold Coast, Australia. For the past 7 years, I have been creating beautiful oil paintings inspired by nature and its many wonders. My portfolio of work includes flower paintings, pet portraits, and live wedding painting. To further my mission of helping people get in touch with their artistic side, I am now also teaching art classes. Visit my website to explore my work and learn more about my services.
