Elaine Fine studied for a Diploma in Combined Art Studies at Hertfordshire College of Art and Design in 1981. Various courses in experimental painting at Camden Institute and Camden Art Centre followed.

After many years of experimental modern art work in a variety of media, including abstract and conceptual sculpture and printmaking, Elaine Fine returned to traditional themes and techniques, concentrating on oil painting. She uses traditional methods of oil painting, occasionally experimenting with mixed media using acrylic, pastel, gouache, watercolour and collage. Elaine Fine became increasingly interested in colour and has been influenced by the work of Cezanne, Matisse and the Scottish Colourists.

Elaine Fine travels regularly, collecting ideas and images through sketching in a variety of media and using photography for reference. She expresses her original emotional response to the subject in paintings through vibrant colour and bold brush marks. The focus is on composition and draughtsmanship together with a sensual harmony of colour and tone. Several images are often used in one painting, sometimes being greatly simplified and abstracted.

Travels to Scotland, many Mediterranean countries and more recently India and the Caribbean have resulted in dramatic series of land, town and seascapes. An ongoing theme and love is water dating back to her childhood living on the River Thames. Her contemporary paintings may describe water in different contexts. Reflections, waterways, boats and harbours all feature.

In l990 Elaine Fine set up her own art studio and started teaching painting to small groups. She has also published several articles on colour and the use of photographs for reference in Leisure Painter Magazine. Several Elaine Fine landscapes have been published as fine art cards.

Elaine Fine has enjoyed success at many solo and group modern art shows and her paintings are in many private collections. As well as exhibiting at Red Rag Gallery Elaine Fine's art work is widely exhibited both in many British and International modern art galleries. Her paintings can also be found in leading London Art Galleries

Each painting at Red Rag is sourced from the Elaine Fine artist studio and like all Red Rag British art and Modern art it can be shipped worldwide.
