Elise Morris brings light, shadows, reflection, and the layering of elements from natural world into her paintings. She is deeply inspired when surrounded by nature and says, "I find myself looking to the light. I look through the trees, in the heavy clouds, at the reflections in the creek. It is ever-changing and always there, a basic element in our daily experience. Where there is light, there is clarity, warmth, and the hope for what is ahead."
