Hey there, I'm Hayley Elva, a full-time artist based in the beautiful town of Thame, Oxfordshire!

I first made a name for myself with my custom pet portraits. Since then I discovered my love of teaching and launched Elva Arts Paint Along! Drink and chat while creating a beautiful piece of art in a fun and relaxed environment! Paint Along events are perfect for your next teambuilding event, hen party or birthday celebration! You will be amazed at what you can create! Let’s unleash your inner artist together!

I studied at Brookes university Oxford and at the University of the Arts London where I developed my skills. I have been lucky to grow up around Oxford and have always been inspired by the beautiful architecture of the historic city and the surrounding countryside.

A piece of art is a perfect way to capture a memorable moment or beloved pet. I hope you enjoy your artwork as much as I enjoy creating it!
