Born in 1997, Eilise studied art history at the University of Birmingham, followed by a Masters degree in fine art at Birmingham School of Art. After studying the life and styles of painters from the Renaissance to the nineteenth century, and researching the history of academic training at the Birmingham School of Art, Eilise sought to pursue more academic training, and studied part time at the London Fine Art Studios where she furthered her skills in the traditional practice of painting and drawing.

Mainly self taught, Eilise has sought out contemporary artists she admires and attended both classes and workshops. Intending to contemporise and champion the ideals of the Pre-Raphaelites, Eilise seeks to create personal narratives by combining art and literature, to provoke emotional responses and inner mediations. She also has a passion for portraiture, particularly in creating paintings of loved ones, sometimes dressed in costumes that she makes.

Eilise currently works as an artist in residence at a secondary school based in London where she creates her own narrative paintings, portraits of the students, as well as running workshops on painting and drawing using traditional methods.
