Elena Parashko :: Artist by Nature

ELENA PARASHKO :: ARTIST BY NATURE

“The texture of bark, the vein pattern in a leaf, the colour of a flower or the shape of a cloud”. Each of these is inspiration enough for Elena Parashko. The artist, who paints, teaches and writes about art, channels a love of life and nature’s beauty into the creation of her works, which focus on the natural world, “those small details that usually go unnoticed in the busyness of our lives."

Elena creates custom designed paintings for both private and corporate art-appreciators, maintaining her artistic practice while also running art classes for children and adults and writing articles on different aspects of art for several national and international magazines.

Conveying a positive message, and reflecting Elena’s belief in the healing power of art, her paintings are vibrant and joyous pieces created specially for their new owners to love looking at. Works that lift the heart rather than furrow the brow, with an emotional rather than intellectual bent.   MORE
