Elspeth McLean is an Australian award winning artist whose innate love of colour and detail evolved into a unique style of painting she describes as “Dotillism”. She creates her intensely colourful and intricate artworks entirely out of dots created with acrylic paint and a paintbrush. Her simple yet refined technique has grown and expanded into the vibrant, precise and soul engaging artworks she creates today. For Elspeth, painting dots is a meditative and grounding experience which is so enjoyable she has dedicated her life to it. Through her art she hopes to connect people with their inner child and to bring some vibrancy and joy to their lives.
Elspeth’s love for colour and intricate detail are how she “expresses and celebrates the colours of her soul”. Through her artwork she explores the world she experiences around her. As she travels often it is the new and beautiful landscapes she explores that become subjects of her art. Elspeth also has a great reverence with the seasons, cosmos, mythology and ancient and traditional art that also influence her creations. She believes in the healing influences of colour and art which led her to achieving her Diploma in Art Therapy.
