I was born in New York City, but have lived in the Washington area for more than 30 years. I love the area for its vibrancy and charm. My life is now split between Alexandria and Colonial Beach. Colonial Beach, which started as my weekend place, has enveloped and so enchanted me that I now spend as much time there, as possible. I have a bachelors and masters degrees in Economics. For most of my adult life, I was an international lobbyist for a telecommunications trade association. But, I decided in my forties that I needed to jump off a figurative cliff and focus my attention on my artworka side of myself I had never committed myself to very seriously. At first, I put my artwork in galleries along the east coast, from Manhattan to Ft. Lauderdale. Later, I opened a small retail chain called Artfully Chocolatefour stores that were part art gallery, part chocolate shop. Ready to move on to other avenues to promote my artwork, in June 2015, I closed the last Artfully Chocolate. In October 2015, I decided to put my love and knowledge of the area to good use and became a Virginia realtor. I am employed by Coldwell Banker Elite out of Colonial Beach, VA. I practice primarily in Northern Virginia and Colonial Beach. I really enjoy helping people find their dream home and enjoy answering questions about how art can really enhance a home.As for my art, I use several techniques including mosaics in bas relief, translucent acrylic on mylar and translucent acrylic on windows. I draw inspiration for my artwork from a quote by 19th century French philosopher who said if you asked me what I came into this world to do, I will tell you I came to live out loud. My artwork is bold and colorful and filled with vitality. I have served as president of the Del Ray Business Association on the Board of Visit Alexandria, the Alexandria Chamber of Commerce, the Torpedo Factory Art Cener, and the MidCity Business Association in Washington. My dual life in Alexandria and Colonial Beach is shared with my husband, Edward. I can be reached at enelson@ColdwellBankerElitewww. Let me open the door to your next home.
