Shadow Play On The Rocks

Here's a new poem I wrote the other night.

The tortured artist,
What have I become.
To the wonder and craziness,
I have succumb.
Oh, the long suffering, starving artist.
Sewing the seeds of the coming harvest.
May I reap the fruits of such creativity,
Without the drama filled Life proclivity.
Of years of obsession,
what is the sum.
May I know the comforts
of works well done.

Welcome to ELISE CREATIONS & PASSIONS

In modern usage, a BOHEMIAN can describe any person who lives an unconventional artistic life, where self-expression is the highest value, & that art (acting, poetry, writing, singing, dancing, painting, etc.) is a serious and main focus of their life.
Yes I am a Bohemian!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to ELISE CREATIONS & PASSIONS

I live in Vermont, where the beauty is a constant source of inspiration. I am a Photographer, an Artist, & Craftsperson.

All of these photos were shot with Canon cameras.


My photography comes from constant inspiration. I can find something interesting to photograph anywhere & everywhere. Photography has been a passion of mine for over 35 years. I shoot scenic photos, nature, weddings, events, family portraits, biker events, & boudoir photos, etc. 


Beadwork is a passion I picked up & took off with 16 years ago. I now make beaded earrings, bracelets, necklaces, amulet bags, dog collars, eyeglass holders, bone chokers, & dream catchers.
Writing poetry is something I have done since childhood.    
I have also been knitting & crocheting since childhood. I am currently knitting & crocheting whimsical creatures and cowls.
