  Elisa Hirt   
  Texas USA  
     



Some of my earliest memories are of being sprawled out on my living room floor drawing for hours on end. I carried my arsenal of paper, pencils and crayons everywhere I went.

During my senior year in high school, I also attended a technical school for Commercial Art. I graduated at the top of my class and hoped to move on to college but was unable to do so at that time.

I took a hiatus from my art for several years, not being able to squeeze it into my busy work and home schedule. But now, my passion for drawing and painting has returned with a vengeance!

I've dusted off my sketch books and dug out my art supplies. I am once again drawing and painting every day. I am also planning to attend college to earn a Bachelor degree in Fine Art.

I am currently 30 years old. I was born and raised in New York, then my family moved to Pennsylvania where I spent my teenage years. In 2001, I moved to central Texas where I have resided ever since.

I still travel to Pennsylvania and New York quite a bit. I also do quite a bit of traveling out west, which is my favorite part of the country.

My art is influenced by my travels, the artists that I admire and my love of nature and people watching.

Although my strongest skills are in portraiture, I am fascinated with Pop Surrealism. I have been studying and teaching myself how to pull images out of my imagination and put them down on paper.
