“I am going to make everything around me
beautiful and that
will be my life.”
~Elise de Wolfe

...and so I came up with the idea of making my artwork more accessible to everyone and bring a little calm, joy, and beauty into daily life, to make every day just a little better.

After freelancing in architecture for 20 years as the kids were growing up, I decided to pursue art, my lifetime passion. I immediately wanted to be able to bring affordable and useable art to everyday life.

With the surprise financial help of a childhood friend, I was able to invest in dye sublimation equipment and so it began.

After printing on many products over the years, from mousepads to mugs, I decided I had to concentrate on one product to stay focused and chose tiles.

A few years ago, Elvira Para Art Tiles™ was trade marked.

My inspiration comes from the chaos and beauty in nature, as well as the organized structures we human beings create out of this beautiful chaos.

Beauty and art can be found anywhere one cares to look for it...
