Elyse Ashe Lord was a British
watercolourist of figures and flowers, sometimes working on silk, and a colour
print artist as well as book illustrator. Elyse Lord was elected to the Royal
Institute of Painters in Watercolours (RI) in 1922 and was also a member of the
Society of Graver-Printers in Colour. She favoured exotic and Far Eastern
figure subjects, treating them in delicate and imaginative colours. Elyse Lord
actively exhibited from 1915 through 1939 in London with the Lefevre Gallery,
who with London dealer Alexander Reid published her work. Her art was also
shown at the Royal Academy of Arts, the RI, the Royal Scottish Academy, the
Walker Art Gallery of Liverpool, and the Fine Art Society and Paris Salon, where
she received a silver medal for colour prints. In addition, her work was
published in Masters of the Colour Print, Volume 1, 1927, with an introduction
by Malcolm C. Salaman. In 1990 Cyril Gerber Fine Art of Glasgow held an
exhibition of her work. Elyse Lord lived in Bexley, Kent.
