ELENA'S BIOGRAPHY

_______________________

In her mountain redoubt, Elena Roché paints virtually all of her floral watercolors and some still life from subjects in her own garden.  This extensive garden includes sections devoted to wildflowers, cactus and succulents, flowering trees, flowering vines, bulbs, fruit and citrus trees, potted and in-ground flowers, herbs and a kitchen vegetable garden.  She grows orchids both outside and indoors.  Because of the mild and predictable Southern California weather, flowers are available year-round and are painted plein air, i.e. outdoors on site.

Portrait commissions, architectural portrait commissions and still life are painted indoors in the Studio.  Plein Air, some architectural portraits, seascapes and marine paintings are painted on location.
