Chloe Elliott is a contemporary painter known for her vibrant still lifes and distinctive swimmer paintings. Working primarily in oils, she explores the interplay of light, colour and pattern, transforming everyday subjects into striking, joyful compositions.
 

Her swimmer series captures the unique visual language of water — reflections, movement and shifting light — creating paintings that are both dynamic and contemplative. Alongside these works, her still lifes celebrate the beauty of ordinary objects, flowers and gathered arrangements, elevating familiar scenes through bold colour, confident brushwork and a strong sense of design.
 

Drawing on her background in illustration, Chloe's paintings combine careful observation with an intuitive, expressive approach. Her work is characterised by a fresh contemporary aesthetic and a fascination with the moments and objects that bring pleasure to everyday life.
 

Before dedicating herself to painting full-time, Chloe enjoyed a successful career as a children's book illustrator, publishing four books. Today, her paintings are collected throughout the UK and internationally.
