“The Chorale has been incredibly fortunate to connect with Elwyn in the last few years. He has shared his thoughtful and insightful perspectives with us, and our organization is much the better for his presence. We have also benefited from his superb video conceptualization and editing, which have helped us to tell our stories in a compelling and engaging way. And let’s not forget: he’s a terrific singer, which is how we first connected. :)”

“Elwyn is a gifted and talented singer and voice-over artist that is easy to work with, full of bright ideas, and very considerate of what you’re looking for for the end product. He narrated a handful of poems during one of my chamber music concerts with eloquence, energy, and purpose. He also composed a sensational piece for cello and marimba, and also performed jazzy vocalization with accompaniment with his powerful & beautiful voice- He is bursting with creativity and potential. I’m excited to see him continue to inspire this city with what he does!”

“I most recently worked with Elwyn at a music performance at Boom Island, as well as Studio Z for another concert. His narration for one of the pieces was something we asked him to do on the spot right after his own excellent performance! He added drama and humor to an instrumental piece that had comedic movement titles and it really connected with the audience. Elwyn is kind and professional to work with, I am so glad we get to perform together and I can’t wait to see what happens next!”

“Elwyn has a fantastic eye for capturing the beauty of nature and has been a huge help in expanding the Ramsey County Parks and Recreation department’s photo collection. Elwyn is able to show the detail, grace, and beauty of the smallest elements of nature: the last fall leaf clinging to a branch, a dusting of snow on prairie grass, or a sunbathing insect. Most people pass by these scenes on a daily basis with no second glance, but Elwyn’s work makes you pause and take notice.
Even as a volunteer, Elwyn approaches his work like a true professional. He is courteous, accommodating and nothing short of a pleasure to work with. I recommend Elwyn to anyone looking for a photographer who can discover and capture all the stunning details of a scene or event.”
— Allison Winters
“Elwyn has been a great asset as a volunteer on the Carver County Parks team as we work to expand public knowledge and appreciation of our growing regional parks system. He is a pleasure to work with at our parks events and has graciously donated his time to refreshing our photo library of park shelters and recreational areas in one of our parks. He is quick to reply, organized and eager to please. He has passion for macro photos, but has been more than willing to take on our landscape, portrait, and action shots that are necessary at our events and park areas. Elwyn goes above and beyond by offering marketing suggestions and fresh ideas for us to consider as we grow. We have used a number of his photos in publications and online promotions. Thank you for sharing your time and talents Elwyn!”

“I love having Elwyn on my team for energy and artistry! He created and hosted “Innovation Safe Space” at an Early Childhood Parent Advisory Council to solicit feedback anonymously. He then synthesized it, then found and presented common themes for us to take next steps on. As an extra special touch, he guided us through an inspirational meditation exercise that touched our hearts and brought some tears of relief for some!
I’ve also had him participate in child focused events. He sang and encouraged young kids to join in at our Spring Social, attended by 100’s of families. He also read and acted out story books to engage young readers at our Literacy Night. At both events, I heard tremendous positive feedback from young families in our community.
Elwyn also created a logo for the Parent Advisory Council. It embodies that parents are the foundation and roots to young minds and hearts while, Early Childhood programming with parent involvement helps those young minds and hearts grow and bloom in adversity. Absolutely beautiful and impactful!
Bring Elwyn onto your team. He just “gets it” and will deliver exactly what you need!”
