Elaine Carlton was an art teacher on Merseyside for over 30 years. She has been involved in textile art groups at Cajobah in Birkenhead, Wirral and with two groups in Cheshire 'Beyond the Surface' and 'TX'. Having now retired from teaching and moved to Spain, she joined Andalusian International Artists. She has exhibited regionally and nationally. Current work can be seen at the Casements in Gibraltar and Galleria Farinelli in Marbella. Also Elaine is exhibiting her work in La Cala de Mijas in Dibleys. There will also be an exhibition by TX at Castle Park in the summer of 2009 starting August 1st until September. Her work has been featured on Spanish Television and in Spanish papers.

She enjoys working with fabrics and threads. She uses a variety of techniques that feature both hand and machine embroidery. Most of her inspiration comes from her love of travel. Her Piscean nature means that a great deal of her work involves the sea, beaches and the associated flora and fauna.
