BIO
CRISEN ELISE
SCHOREA

She was born on the 9th of June 1975 (Gemini). It was obvious since very young that she had the need to express in several ways. As she always says, ‘Art & her have always flirted with each other’. For the look of things they have fallen in love with each other.

"I guess you could say i'm a creatively crazy busy bee but never too busy for my loved ones. I love writing, swimming, reading, having conversations and connecting with people but also love quality time with myself every once in a while: I'm an extraverted introvert! I'm crazy about my dogs Ongo, Zahn and Noir and love the tranquility of my home. I am not defined by solely my art but it's undeniably the most important channel for me to express, to reflect, to inspire, to teach, to share. I would love to travel more in the future and if you ever find yourself wondering what present to give me, well a book (preferably in Spanish or English), handmade herbal soaps, douchegels, fruits & veggies, all kinds of tea or whatever reflects that you 'took your time to watch or know what I really want or need', will do!"'
