Elodie Cazes emigrated to New Zealand at 12, where a diving accident left her paralysed. During rehabilitation, she learned to paint with her mouth, a skill she quickly embraced.

Now based in France, Elodie became a member of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists in 1997 and is now a full member. Her work is inspired by her time in New Zealand and Australia, with landscapes, animals and florals featuring strongly. She primarily paints in acrylics and has exhibited widely.
