Elise (Ellie) Leake is a multidisciplinary artist based in Virginia. She received her BFA in painting and printmaking from VCUarts in 2025. Her oil paintings utilize cubist motifs and motion blur to create a form of warped portraiture in uncanny settings. She often juxtaposes these pieces with time based work to better frame their meaning. She also works in 50 mm film photography, as well as illustrative printmaking.
