I’m Elsa, a graphic designer and illustrator whose work is inspired by the natural beauty of the Rocky Mountains. As a lifelong cinema enthusiast, I see my art as a reflection of the films that have shaped me—Coneheads, The Notebook, and Mean Girls. And when I need a creative boost, Kanye’s bold energy and unapologetic approach to art are my go-to fuel.
My artistic approach is all about balance, embracing both light and dark elements. On one hand, my work reflects the warmth and love I find in the world around me (especially through my puppy Layla <3), whose presence infuses my creations with a soft, feminine touch. On the other, it’s driven by a raw, more cynical perspective, rooted in the complex emotions I navigate daily—frustration, sarcasm, and a touch of rebellion.
I aim to express the delicate tension between these two sides—fusing a bold, graphic style with moments of subtlety and humor. My work is a reflection of the complexity of being human: the joy, the darkness, and the undeniable grit.
In Loving Memory of Layla,
the spark behind Itssoartsy.
