Sipapu Painting

Elena Naskova uses watercolor, acrylic, and oil to explore the inside and outside world, so she can notice, understand and connect better. She immigrated to America from Macedonia when she was 25. She joined a ceramic studio in Los Angeles where she created ceramic art for many years. Eventually she had to sell her kiln and wheel because she moved to Seattle. In Seattle she took on painting, using watercolor, acrylic, and recently oil. Elena paints portraits, animals, nature, human bodies, and she loves the freedom of abstract expression. She enjoys exploring different variations of an idea by creating a series of paintings about the same subject matter.
