She also studied at the Taos Institute of Art in New Mexico.bFor 22 years, Elinor taught art in Westchester County, NY public schools, including in a Yonkers NY public school museum magnet program that collaborated with New York City area art museums.
In the 90s, she taught herself pique assiette, the art of creating mosaic designs with pieces of broken china on almost any surface–walls, sculptures, vintage furniture, frame, lamps, jewelry. She often embellishes these works with a variety of painting techniques. For the past 16 years, she has lived and worked in Jamaica, VT, and her mosaics have been exhibited and sold in various Vermont galleries and craft shows, including: the Artists Guild of Manchester, Vermont Artisan Designs in Brattleboro, The Vault in Springfield, The Market Arts Studio in Londonderry, and the Bennington Museum.
