About Elaine Hughes

capturing a moment in a person's life."
Born and raised in Southern California, Hughes embraces the beaches, coastlines and the families that visit them. She has
participated in numerous juried exhibits and festivals since 1994, winning many awards throughout the region. Elaine is
