Elise Barnard

I am a watercolour artist and live in Gurnard, Isle of Wight. Originally, I came to the Isle of Wight as a metallurgist working in aerospace but left in 2015 to become a carer for my family and was delighted to be able to spend more time painting! I love plein air painting and paint outdoors several times a week in all weather. I love capturing light – dappled light under trees, refracted light in sea water, sunlight sea sparkles-and I also enjoy portraits of pets, people and buildings. In addition to painting, I can print my designs onto products in my studio which are sold on the Isle of Wight and Oxfordshire.
