About the Instructor

Connecticut native Elyse Cote began creating art in the ballet studio, co-founding and co-directing CONNetic Dance Company. She eventually found her way to painting and ceramics and completed a BFA at the University of Hartford. Since then she has been a Resident Artist at the Wellsville Creative Art Center and taught ceramics at several local studios as well as The University of Hartford. Elyse has shown her work in many juried shows as well as group exhibitions. Although she no longer dances she continues to bring that physicality to her delicate hand-built objects and the painted canvas, combining the aesthetic of her choreography with faceted vessels and gestural abstraction.
