Elissa was born in Ontario and grew up in North Vancouver. She studied to be a graphic artist at George Brown College in Toronto. She has worked in advertising, printing, display and in the motion picture industry as a scenic artist. Elissa then spent ten years living and studying fine art in England. Ms. Anthony spent much time visiting major galleries in Europe, redefining her artistic outlook and garnering as much information about painting and art history as possible. Her unique impressionist style evolved.

In 1997, Elissa made an inspirational move to Vancouver Island. She has had many one-woman and group shows at The Old School House in Qualicum Beach, Nanaimo Art Gallery, Nanaimo Arts Council and private venues. Elissa has won awards of merit, and excellence for her work, but the ones that mean the most to her are the People's Choice awards.
