Hi, I’m Elfie. Nice to meet you!

Elfie Kalfakis is an artist inspired by play, esoterica, healing trauma, community and consciousness. Her art is an extension of her solitary spiritual practice and a result of her unyielding captivation with chance and synchronicity. Her work is rooted in a refined intuitive process, and is multidisciplinary. She aspires to use her artwork as a means of breaking down stigmas. She has a passion for female empowerment and mental health advocacy.

She was trained as an architect, obtaining her Masters of Architecture from the University of Waterloo. Having practised both nationally and internationally, she eventually found herself in the field of education. Currently Elfie is a design communication professor at Conestoga and Fanshawe colleges.  She also runs Elfie Kalfakis Studio where she teaches adult and children’s creative studios. 

Elfie’s self-published oracle deck, the White Owl Mystic Arcana, has sold over in 24 countries internationally. She has also published other collections of poetry and graphic art. As the resident astrologer for the independent Waterloo publication, the Community Edition, she hopes to offer insight into the misunderstood world of the occult. Her passion for personal healing and working through trauma has led her to run weekly workshops as a visiting artist with the Sexual Assault Support Centre of Waterloo Region.
