Elise Macdonald was born in Zimbabwe in 1954. She
studied art at the University of Witswatersrand,
Johannesburg, South Africa, from which she
graduated with a bachelors degree in fine art in
1975. She then began experimenting with airbrush
and, in 1982, had a sold-out exhibition of
airbrush paintings at Crake Gallery,
Johannesburg. After moving to Knysna in 1996,
Elise Macdonald exhibited her work at Trent
Reads gallery, Knysna Fine Art. During this
period, her art output dwindled as her time and
energy were taken up by motherhood. Once her nest
emptied, she rekindled her passion for painting,
this time with brushes and oils.
