Elisha McGuckin

Renowned for her vibrant colour palette, Elisha McGuckin is a contemporary artist working primarily in acrylic paint. Inspired by pop culture and modern life her often nostalgic paintings feature iconic everyday items. Challenging the norms, she merges pop art concepts with still life skills creating eye and creates eye catching collections. A career stretching near 10 years, South West artist Elisha McGuckin has seen successes that she would never dare imagine. As a nervous student in her 20s she studied art at the Fremantle Art Centre before years later deciding it was indeed time to pursue her true passion. Having cemented her title as an artist, McGcukin has now successfully hosted 4 solo exhibitions, collaborating with city councils, shires and iconic brands. Having focussed primarily on creating one extensive collection after another she has gone from strength to strength, further developing not just her concepts and skills but her own signature style. The granddaughter of a sign writer and daughter of a technical drawer, Elisha is fascinated with lettering and mastering smooth brushstrokes. Working from life her work is both expressive but well refined, she studies her objects as they sit before her embracing all the imperfections along the way. With collectors both Australia wide and internationally, she continues to challenge the perception of a still life bringing a unique pop art twist to her work.
