About the artist

Elisa Arancibia -  BIO

Elisa Arancibia is a painter born in PERU.  She started drawing and painting at a young age.

 Elisa got her degree as a History and Geography teacher by 1992 then, she worked as a teacher for twelve years until She arrived at the United States in 2001.

In the USA Elisa started working at different jobs keeping in my mind the dream of being an artist.

No matter how busy her schedule was; she always makes time for her passion.

As Gerard de Marigny, said:

“THE SOUL OF AN ARTIST CANNOT BE MUTED INDEFINITELY; IT MUST EITHER BE EXPRESSED OR IT WILL  CONSUME THE HOST”

Elisa has that feeling and, as a result, she never stops painting. Elisa started her journey as a serious painter in 2013. Elisa started showing her art at Art walks and some small galleries close to her home. And she never stops learning. She studied at the "Virtual Art Academy" of Barry John Raybould and at The Easel Insight by Gabor Svagrik and Phil Starke.

Elisa surrounded herself with books, videos, and assisted with workshops and demos with Bill Inman, Lorenzo Chavez, Jane Hunt, Heather Arenas, Sharon Weaver, and Jason Situ.

Elisa was completely captivated by people and their environment. She keeps painting without breaks since the beginning; whether just for her own enjoyment or for private commissions.

It was during the last five years when she realized that art was more than just a hobby, as people were showing more interest in her work. Subsequently, she produced some private commissions; and the journey of ART as a career started.
