While majoring in Home Economics at San Jose State University, she met her husband, Murray, whose encouragement and supportiveness have been most helpful to Elsie's artistic endeavors. Her family of five children and 13 grandchildren are her best critics. Mrs. Dill's art career began in oils with the late Hazel Hohberger of Salinas. Then she began to study seriously and developed under the tutelage of the late Charles Thomas of the Carmel Highlands. Dill was exposed to many of the nuclei of the old Carmel Art colony, notably Ruth Allan of Monterey. Other artists of influence have been Virginia Rogers of Carmel, the late Dorner Schuyler of Murphy's, the late Robert Woof and Greg Kondos of Sacramento. ] Variety, versatility, and knowledge of many media enhance her work. Elsie is known as a multi-media artist working in collage (paper and cloth), oil, watercolor, multimedia, ink, yarns, batik, weaving and basketry. Her masteries of composition, technique, and palette produce excitement and interest in her pieces. Elsie is known as a colorist and likes to work Plein Aire. She has "no style", or at least not an observable one that could be identified. Perhaps this is because she is more interested in getting at the "observed reality" rather than the means of representing it. She tries to get the feeling of the subject into the painting and this usually draws the viewer. She is a full time artist and maintains her studio in their Salinas Valley home. She is the recipient of many awards from shows. THESE ARE BEAUTIFUL and WONT DISAPPOINT!
