ElaineSchimek Studio.jpg

Elaine Schimek, a native New Yorker who spent her career as a graphic designer, brings these influences to her current fine art practice. She weaves bold layouts and color choices with captivating narratives of imagined city and landscape themes.

​

Acrylic paints suit Elaine's impatience. To add layers of depth and texture unachievable with the brush alone, she creates her collage papers through mono-printing on rice paper.  Sometimes spending more time on color than layout, she wields a curated palette to capture a specific time and place, evoking emotions that create a sense of nostalgia or imagine the possibilities of the future.
