About Elle Knight

Elle’s (née Michelle) intention is to inspire the viewer to feel at peace through her dreamlike, calming, and meditative compositions that utilize digital paint brushes and textures. Amidst the chaos of the world, she believes art can uplift and bring peace, which is her intention woven through every piece she creates.

Whether working on a traditional canvas or in the digital realm, Elle infuses her work with an infectious sense of playfulness and optimism. Her vivid colors, intricate details, and ethereal scenes invite you to step into a world where imagination knows no bounds.
