.the story.

Elimaem is built from a foundation that supports ever changing expression and experimentation with no limits or rules. The founder, Elisha (a.k.a. Lish), has embraced the wild and weird since 1981. She was born to be a maker. Her parents influenced and encouraged her creative mind from the very beginning. Her constant curiosity has paved the path to explore the arts in many forms. Color has become her favorite language to communicate through each medium.

Elisha was exploring color and sewing her own clothing long before becoming an oil painting major or learning pattern drafting and making. Her Sicilian grandmother, Florence Antoinette, taught her the art of sewing when she was a lil’ bambina. Experimenting with the combination of textiles and color has become her main focus…for now. She is inspired by constantly evolving and collaborating. This keeps her open to new ideas and building fire. The unexpected has become a form of meditation. Elisha sees the slow and unknown process of her art as a way to dig deeper. Going with the flow and stepping into the unknown outcome of each piece is like a dance to her…every beat is different and carries a fluid movement and mood.
