eloise schoeman is a classically trained fine artist & Master of Painting. Based in Bristol, UK and raised in the Republic of South Africa, eloise draws inspiration from the vibrancy of her youth in conjunction with the fleeting hardships she witnessed and endured.
About
eloise completed her formative years studying at Tshwane University of Technology where she specialized in painting, printmaking and art theory, achieving Cum Laude. In her 3rd and 4th years, she was taken under the wing of Prof Jan van der Merwe, a renowned South African sculptor and painter who guided her through the depth of understanding your own practice.
After achieving her Bachelors she relocated to Plymouth, UK to complete her Masters Degree in Painting at Arts University Plymouth in 2021-22. After that year she took a 12-month unplanned sabbatical, unable to create. Her creativity blocked by critique and the realities of life. Now finding herself in 2024, with a year missed, she aims her sights on a more refined palette trying to understand herself and further dive into the complexities of her craft intertwined with her story.
