Ms. Rascov, a native of Columbia, is a watercolor and ceramics artist whose art reflects the techniques she learned in watercolor and oil painting classes she took at the Universidad de la Sabana in Bogotá, Colombia. For the past 24 years, she has lived in California where its beauty has inspired much of her art.
Ms. Rascov has a Master’s degree in Hospitality and Tourism Management from the Rochester Institute of Technology, but art has always been the center of her interest. She uses watercolor and big brushes for her expressive plein air paintings.
Ms. Rascov enjoys taking classes and meeting other artists who share her passion for painting. Elvira enjoys painting landscapes, animals, flowers and city scenes.
Currently, she is teaching watercolor classes at the Los Gatos-Saratoga Community Education and Recreation.
