Elflinart
Address
Hi! My name is Caitlin, but you can also call me Lin, or Lin the Elf (especially if you're a fellow fantasy nerd).
I am in pursuit of all things creative and I appreciate you being here to witness my journey. Here at my store you will find one-of-a-kind magnets I make by collaging printed images onto kitchen tile. I enjoy the search for unique and fun cutouts and the challenge of combining them into a new visual story. I am also a canvas painter and illustrator. My paintings are created with many layers of mixed media, paint, and usually some bright colors. My illustrations combine watercolors with pen and ink.
Putting a visual to the thoughts and feelings that I lack language for is a process that drives me. My love of drawing and painting led me to study at Maine College of Art, where I earned my BFA in 2008. I find inspiration most often in nature, science fiction, and the challenge of making the mundane into something more.
When I'm not creating art, I love doing yin yoga, as it helps remind me that I'm a human with an actual body. I can often be found hanging out with my muse and moral support cat, Merlin, my other cutie cat, Toes, and my husband, Alex. I enjoy going for long walks around the city of Providence and getting purposefully lost amongst the bricks and old New England houses, bonus points if it's early morning and/or foggy.
Thank you for stopping by my store! I hope you enjoy exploring my creations.
