Artist – Elina Rosenblum

Born and raised in Ukraine, Elina Rosenblum moved to US in 1998, and now lives and works in New Jersey/New York metro area.

Elina's first education was in Computer Science and Math (Bachelor's from Brandeis, Master's from UPenn) followed by a successful career in IT as a Business Analyst / User Experience designer.

Since 2017 Elina has been cultivating her art practice, initially as a self-taught mural and decorative artist, and later studying mosaics, stained glass, and related subjects at Chicago Mosaic School.

Elina's private mosaic and stained glass installations, as well as public artworks, are found in New Jersey, New York, Chicago, and Barcelona.

Elina's passion is to transform spaces, utilizing materials creating rich effects in texture, color, and play of light, to create exquisite, luxurious, cozy, and unique spaces radiating joy and delight.

Elina's inspiration is rooted both in rich ancient folk art traditions, such as Slavic, Turkish, and Tibetan, as well as in the incredible spirit of Art Nouveau architects and artists such as Gaudí, Jujol, Cadafalch, Hundertwasser, and Klimt.

Elina creates custom mosaic and stained glass installations, works on her own mosaic artworks, and teaches mosaic workshops at her studio in  Manufacturers Village in East Orange, NJ.
