Elina Frumerman is a visual artist working in photography, painting, printmaking, and installation. Her work explores how we use narratives to make sense of the world. She is interested in where these stories originate and how they are passed down through generations. Frumerman’s inquiry begins with the familiar and questions how everyday experiences intertwine with narratives to shape cultural beliefs.

Frumerman was born in the Soviet Union and lives and works in San Francisco. Her work is informed by her personal history as a Jewish refugee. Frumerman has studied studio and applied art, most recently at the California College of Art. Her work has appeared in San Francisco Magazine, California Home and Design, House Beautiful, Architectural Digest, and National Geographic.
