Los Angeles native Elyse Wyman, earned her BA in Fine Arts (Cum Laude) from UCLA, where she studied with Richard Diebenkorn, Jan Stussy, Llyn Foulkes and Robert Heinecken. She furthered her art education in Paris, at L’Académie de la Grande Chaumière.
Pursuing dual careers in graphic design and fine art, she began as a graphic artist at A&M Records.
