Elin's home and studio are located in the mountainous terrain north of the Temecula wine country of Southern California. Perched high on a hill, the studio overlooks the morning sun warming the massive mountains of the San Jacinto and San Gorgonio Wilderness Areas. She lives with her husband who is a university professor and a variety of domestic animals (horses, goats, dogs, cats, chickens) all of which have found their way into her paintings. |
