Elise @ The Royal Ballet - Award winning website

I was recently given a stylish award from the lovely trishiekoh, for which I'm very thankful.



I would like to pass on this award to Sarah, a wonderfully intuitive & expressive artist at The Secret Gallery, who has drawn and painted the most wonderful dancers. Sarah is the artist behind the commissioned drawings which I use in my "From Student to Star" interview series.

Sarah's latest series of paintings (of pointe shoes), are remarkable, particularly the red pointe shoe painting, which captures movement & light, softly folding in the colour and demonstrating the dancer's perfect lines.

I look forward to being able to bring much more of Sarah's work to you in the near future.
