My friend, Elsa. Through the “eyes of Elsa” we hope you will enjoy her journey in time and history, as you enjoy her artistic works she saw as beautiful, meaningful and fulfilling. Elsa is the mother of four children, Jimmy, Shawn, Suzanne and Eric who have contributed their wonderful memories of their childhood growing up with Elsa...what a treat and testimony to her creativity and lust for life! I met Elsa when I married Bob Keenan, friend of Elsa and her husband Jimmy. I will never forget what she told me when I first visited her home for an authentic evening of Chinese cuisine. She was quite the entertainer. She said to me, “I am so glad that Bob married someone from the “outside.” I didn’t know what she actually meant at the time, but after the years have passed, I discovered that Elsa was quite a gem. There was no one else like her whom I met, who possessed the culture and hunger to know more of what was beyond Cheatham County. We spent many fun hours together painting, shopping and entertaining over the first few years after meeting. As things go, we got busy with our careers and families and time spent together became less and less. However the circle of life finds a way of bringing those people we love back together. We found each other

again, encouraging each other and began this quest to share her life’s works with the world. You see, Elsa has developed macular degeneration which she still struggles with today; however, she continues to fight to create inspite of this little set back! Her will to create is never ending, an inspiration rarely found in those who have been dealt a bad hand. Her children say it best, “...if she puts her mind to it...it will become reality!” As a photographer, graphic artist and printer, our talents finally blended to bring forth this wonderful collection of Elsa’s “found” art into this collection for your enjoyment and entertainment. Her work has been divided into twelve groupings as listed to the right of this page.
