Elaine Hullihen first showed work at The Sculpture Center in 2011 as part of the Window to Sculpture: Emerging Artists series. She is a multi-media artist who uses actions and experiences to try to touch the vibrating energy that is the essence of life. She uses the guises of sculptor, performance artist, muralist, printmaker, writer and yoga teacher to prompt experiences, for herself and others, that bring attention to the creative curiosity that fuels us. She now resides in Cleveland, Ohio.
