She works from her studio is in the picturesque town of Knysna on the garden route of the Western Cape. 

Elsabe works seamless between traditional and digital art. She often expresses herself in media such as watercolors, acrylic paint, charcoal and mixed media but enjoy working in her digital studio while travelling.  Her art process usually starts by capturing photographic images of her surroundings and subject matter; that gets translated into imaginative, conceptual visuals or metaphors of a new subliminal world. Her inspiration comes mainly from nature and she is fascinated by the peculiar existence of man on planet earth.
