Elise Rasmussen (b. 1977, Edmonton, Canada) first honored her franco-philia at the age of ten by proclaiming she would go by her middle-name Elise. She continues to indulge her penchant for French culture by spending time in cafes, using Garamond type-face whenever possible, and creating works inspired by New Wave cinema and the French Revolution. Elise received her BFA from Ryerson University in 2004 and her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago in 2007. She has exhibited at galleries in Canada and the United States, and has exhibitions opening in Germany and Chicago this Spring/Summer. Elise currently resides in Brooklyn, NY and hopes to make it to Paris one day soon.
