She primarily creates oil paintings, drawing her inspiration from impressionists in her creations of sporting and street scenes, as well as figurative work and portraits.

Elysia said: “It was such an exciting experience to have my artwork displayed in such a prominent place, and it was surreal to see it on a billboard in New York.
“Having only set up my art business in 2020, it’s really encouraging to have had this opportunity to display my artwork alongside other great artists in a unique digital exhibition.
“(It was) a very proud moment!”
Elysia moved back to St Asaph during lockdown in 2020, and dropped out of university, where she studied fine art, to pursue her dream of becoming a full-time artist.
She has since gathered more than 90,000 TikTok followers, with one of her portrait painting videos raking in almost four million views.
The exhibition has been curated by Artist Talk Magazine, a publication written by artists.
