Eliane Harvey was born in Criciuma Brazil. She started painting at age 12 after seeing the paintings of her cousin. She started reading art instruction books were she learned a lot about light and color.

Although she studied mechanical design at the SATC Technical School, she continued her art career while working for Cecrisa and Ceusa as a ceramic tile designer. The tiles that she designed were produced in Brazil and offered for sale in both Brazil and Europe.

Eliane has always studied the work of the Masters, with Salvador Dali being her most admired. She continues to study the techniques of the masters as well as new techniques, with artists such as; Peter Olsen, Roland Ruocco and Jonatas Chimen.

Eliane currently lives in Coconut Creek with her husband James, who she says offers tremendous support and creates the perfect ambiance in which to paint.
