Elva grew up in a large conservative Mennonite family in Ephrata, PA where she attended a small “one room” Amish and Mennonite school. Art was viewed as frivolous by many of those around her, but that did not keep Elva from etching scenes in between chore on the family dairy farm.When Elva was in 8th grade her teacher noticed her artistic talent and encouraged her to become more observant to detail. However, 8th grade was the highest level of education Elva’s parents and the school would allow. So Elva quit school to help out on her parents’ dairy farm. In her free time she began to teach herself how to paint.
Elva saved her pennies to purchase art books and spent hours watching other artists at work. Inspired by them, she followed their advice on becoming an artist.
