elysiamyers.wineart

Elysia (elysiamyers.wineart) is a wine artist and has created a unique category within the art world by using wine as her medium and sole focus.

She didn't set out to become an artist. She started her career in travel PR, but after living abroad for 18 months, She discovered that life can be so much more than a 9-5 job and as she says:"I was determined to create my dream life".

She is obsessed with the spectrum of beautiful colors that wine offers, and creates artwork that expresses the beauty, energy and love behind every bottle of wine. Unlike other mediums, wine starts off as artistry in a bottle, and Elysia loves that she gets to take one work of art and transform into a totally different kind of art.

"The artistry that goes into every bottle of wine is always the foundation of my inspiration. I'm always fascinated when I open a new bottle and get excited to see the color it will produce. "Each piece I create seeks to visually express the beauty of wine and its colors, and I try to incorporate other wine elements in my pieces when I can. I love using corks to create my pieces when possible, to further my connection to the beauty of the winemaking process."
