Elaine Clarfield Gitalis

Graduating with honours in 1969 from OCAD, Elaine majored in Textile Design. During her training, she also fell in love with drawing and painting, having studied with great artists such as John Newman, Hugh Mackenzie, Aba Bayevsky, Tom Lapierre, among others.

Gitalis has always enjoyed the tactile quality of textures that she created when weaving on her loom. Creating wall-hangings and tapestries, using various sized looms, she often incorporated yarns dyed with natural materials and then spun on an antique spinning wheel. In her paintings, this influence is greatly apparent.

In 1985, she went back to her love for drawing and painting and has continued ever since.
