About the artist

Scalloped serving dish, circa 1990

Elaine Medina

Elaine was born in 1928 in Modesto, California.

Elaine came to be artist later in life, after she retired from nursing. Her work was featured in local galleries and sold in boutiques throughout California. It continues to be highly collected.

Casa de Medina Pattern

Elaine’s inspiration was her life and surroundings in California. The signature pattern is reminiscent of large green leaf grape vines, beautiful orange poppies, pink oleanders, and grounded with the deep cobalt blue of the Pacific Ocean.

In Memory

Elaine passed away in 2013. This site is dedicated to cataloging and honoring her timeless work.
