Artist

LA-based artist, Elyse Dodge, is best known for her bold use of color in landscapes, exploring the connection between soft and hard forms, creating a distinctive visual language in her work.

Elyse was raised in Kelowna, British Columbia, by an artist and a builder who taught her about craftsmanship and how to see her surroundings as shapes and color. Still inspired by the scenery of the West Coast, Elyse's work aims to capture the colors and textures of the views we see every day. Elyse sees her work as deconstructed landscapes, focusing on the fractal shapes and textures rather than the subject matter. Using bright color palettes—her work seamlessly blends the freedom of impressionism with the precision of geometry. The work acts as a reminder that things are not always what they seem and that a whole exists only as the sum of its parts; each part is therefore as beautiful and integral as the full puzzle.

Elyse’s colorful original paintings and prints of polygonal landscapes are featured in the interiors of contemporary homes and galleries across North America.
