About

Studio Member since 2013

Born in 1979, Elisha’s artwork functions as a true extension of his vibrant and cheerful personality. Exuberant line work and bright colors yield a sense of movement and humor.

“Art makes me feel happy! I am a happy guy, Elisha! I like to draw lines, and colors. Bright colors. Lots of different colors like a rainbow and sunshine. I use colored pencils and pastel. Yellow, purple, gold. It looks very nice.”

Preston’s use of oil pastels and chalk allows him to create glowing layers of colored lines. His art can be viewed as a hidden map of his day at the studio, each one as unique and special as the day itself.
