My blog at elainedesterreart.com/blog is like my studio where I record different stages in my painting and etching processes – artworks in progress.

I explore a possible parallel between Earth’s creative forces and artists’ and poets’ creative processes. These two parallel themes coalesce within the structure of my compositions where I use disguised symbolism, sourced from pre – Minoan art and artefacts, and from art history.
