Elaine Hinchman is a native of North Carolina and a resident of Greenville NC. She is a self-taught artist that started painting at a young age and creates daily. Elaine is not afraid to try something new and is constantly exploring new mediums for fun. She has multiple areas around her home set up for all her art projects and can spend hours lost in a creation.

Her chosen mediums are watercolor and acrylic. Elaine expresses detail in her watercolor and creates commissions of homes, special places, memories and dog portraits for others in a realistic style. Many of her art pieces are of the beach because she is inspired by the waves, beach animals, sunrises and sunsets. The beach has always been her favorite place to visit for some relaxation and you can frequently find her planning a getaway to the beautiful beaches of North Carolina for her art inspiration.

She also enjoys the freedom of abstract painting because she is able to use her imagination to let the colors flow and blend together. Textured paintings are her favorite because they add interest and depth to the painting.
