Elise Peterson
Elise Peterson (1988, Washington, D.C., USA) lives and works in Los Angeles. The artist studied at Howard University in Washington, D.C. and at Parsons School of Design in New York. Peterson is a multi-disciplinary artist working in installation, sculpture, collage, recorded audio and moving images. Her visual practice encapsulates intimate storied moments, void of linear timing, pasted against portals of fantasy while joining moments of internal and external existence. Socially, it is her aim to continue to use art as a platform for social justice while making art accessible for all through exhibitions of public work and beyond. Peterson has shown in group exhibitions in institutions and galleries, including The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York, New York, USA (2019); Baxter St at The Camera Club of New York, New York, USA (2019); Paul Kasmin Gallery New York, New York, USA (2018) and Suite 7a Gallery, Sydney, Australia (2018). Public works have taken place at Central Park, New York, USA; Manhattan Bridge, New York, USA; Fort Gansevoort, New York, USA; Baie Saint Paul, Quebec, Canada, and Orchard St. Mural, New York, USA. Elise continues to investigate and connect the nuance of the human experience through a limitless practice in storytelling. She has for instances illustrated two children’s books: “The Nightlife of Jacuzzi Gasket”, Dottir Press (2019) and “How Mamas Love Their Babies”, Feminist Press (2018). The artist is also the co-founder of Cool Moms, a podcast focused on mothers who prioritize both their passions and parenting, currently on residency monthly at Soho House.
