Elisa López Trejo was born and raised in Mexico City. She currently lives in Charlotte, North Carolina. Elisa originally pursued a career as a secretary for a lawyer, but later turned to art. Her parents were very happy to see her career as a secretary, but sadly, were not around to see her become an artist. Elisa came to Charlotte to be near her daughter and grandchildren, and loves the decision to come here. She loves that she is near her family, and that they love and support her in being an artist. Elisa does mainly oil and watercolor paintings, but sometimes steps outside the box. Recently she has been working on clothing pieces, one was made of trash bags while the other was made of table cloths. Elisa is very versatile in her artistic abilities.
