Art Exhibit
"Bokeh Blue" is a art collection of moments, inspired by nature and travel and the heightened awareness such stimuli provoke. The collection by Vancouver's Visual Artist, Elyse Dodge, is a meditation on the beauty of visual reality free from trivial obstructions. Each piece invites the viewer to dissolve his or her daily burdens and step into a tranquil, ethereal realm.

Reflections
Inspired by a photograph I saw in passing and the dual meaning of the word "reflection" – to be in a state of thought and the throwing back of light without absorbing it. Reflections captures the reflective state of mind and the natural beauty that light can create.

Flight
Is there anything humans crave more than the art of flying? Flight was inspired from an evening standing on the dusk lit Marina Del Rey shoreline watching the birds glide along the air.

Hand Rendering
The challenge in this marker rendering was to try and re-create a colour and a black and white rendering of a chosen ad. My love for super cars made me choose the Alfa Romeo. Both of these images are hand drawn.

Paper Fashion
Paper Fashion was a project where the students were challenged to create a paper dress out of blue jay paper, push pins and double sided tape. I had 2 weeks to complete this project from Givenchy inspired design to the final paper dress. I made this dress with a Velcro back so that it could one day be worn.

Blossom
One spring afternoon in Vancouver a wind came through that made the cherry blossom petals swirl to the ground. Between rays of sunlight and pink snow I was frozen in time. This painting aims to capture the grace of the blossoms in that moment.

Metamorphosis
Metamorphosis showcases the art process from concept to creation. From the initial smudge of paint to the finished piece, each stage is beautiful in its own way, and what better way to convey this journey than with the image of the evolutionary monarch butterfly.

Graphic Design
The goal of the Human Rights Photoshop assignment was to visually express that everyone has “the right to freedom of thought, conscience, and religion.” The puzzle piece globe voices different cultures and religions coming together to create a whole. Each puzzle piece is made from a unique layer and image.

Midnight Drive
Music is a huge inspiration in my artwork. Midnight Drive was inspired from the 80's electro pop Drive soundtrack and the images of Ryan Gosling's sport car driving through LA's neon lights. Who am I kidding? It was inspired by Ryan Gosling.

Maya Bay
This painting aims to grasp the anticipation of arriving at Maya Bay, Thailand. The film, The Beach, depicted the beauty of this moment in one quote, “(Paradise) I know it's not some place you can look for, cause it's not where you go. It's how you feel for a moment in your life when you're a part of something, and if you find that moment... it lasts forever”

Sail Away
There is a breath taking moment in Maya Bay in Koh Phi Phi Ley, Thailand
where the steep limestone cliffs arch over you, while you float through the clear emerald water. Sail Away was created to share that remarkable experience of soaking in the sun while floating away on long boat. 2012 Painting
