About Me

I am a self-taught, amateur artist hoping others will experience joy in the paintings I create.

I create art under the name Elise Perton. This is not my real name, it is a name I created to honour women in my life who inspire me.

The Perton Project is a creative space to document my journey of creativity. It is not intended to be polished or perfect. It is my personal reflection of what it is to be creative, live in creation and consider my Creator.

You will find my paintings listed on this site, often with a few words describing how or why they were created. Most of them are available for purchase, so if you’re around Perth please reach out if you’re interested in taking one home.

Occasionally, you might find me painting live at an event or facilitating a wine & paint night - especially if it’s for a good cause. Reach out if I can help you in this way.

Mostly, I’m here exploring what it is to be creative. I’m exploring what it means to be created by a Creator.

I hope you enjoy the colour.
