BREVARD COUNTY • COCOA BEACH, FLORIDA – The Studios of Cocoa Beach’s April exhibit features the Oil Paintings by Elena Tchistiakova.

She will display many of her nature paintings. She uses oil paints to create soft, tropical colors creating warm, inviting images of the Florida landscape.

“I paint to explore my passion for our beautiful nature. For example, walking on the beach gazing out at the ocean I see so many colors. I put them on canvas in hopes that the viewer may enjoy them too,” said Elena Tehistiakova.

Originally from Russia, Elena earned an art degree in Moscow, she then moved to New York and studied CAD drafting classes at Cooper Engineering School.

She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology and worked in the fashion industry for over 20 years.
