About

My name is Elanor. You could call me an accidental artist. I live in Wealden in Sussex in the UK with my two cats, Wilbur and Pumpkin. They're two years old and are the sweetest, most affectionate cats you could ask for.

I started taking wood engraving classes with the great Keith Petitt in East Hoathly in the winter of 2023. I've always been drawn to creative endeavours and loved the style of wood engraving, but hadn't imagined that I could create any of my own.

Under Keith's tutelage, I've now created three wood engravings. All so far have been inspired by my cats!

Any profits made through selling this artwork will be donated to causes to support people in need in Palestine. My heart has been broken seeing the suffering that it ongoing there and I hope you will agree that it is a meaningful cause.
