In the main, Elle paints sight hounds but other breeds creep in now and then along with a few other animals such as foxes and hares.

Elle likes to hold on to a sense of innocence in her paintings and her work is invariably bright, cheerful and uplifting. Her clever compositions are beautifully executed and utterly charming. She has an avid following around the world and is booked for months ahead to create specially commissioned paintings.
