Elyse Graham is a sculptor and business owner based in Los Angeles, California, and Oregon. She received her BA in sculpture and semiotics at Brown University. The creative trajectory of her work is heavily influenced by Elyse’s background in fine art, specifically her interest in process-driven and material-based artwork. Her art’s vocabulary of shapes, patterns, and forms comes from a lineage of unconventional processes she has developed and built based on years of working with plaster and resin. After years of making sculptures and running a jewelry design business, Elyse decided to merge her separate practices and redirect her attention toward collectible design in 2013. Her studio, Elyse Graham Studio, is where unusual materials and experimental processes are implemented to create a melding of art and objects. Elyse and her small team of two design each work with an emphasis on capturing the unique properties of the materials that they use through exploration and innovation. Elyse shares her studio and home with her husband, Lewis Mauk, and their daughter, Eero.
