Mieszka i pracuje w Heggedal w Norwegii.
Elin Drougge w swoich intrygujących i nieco surrealistycznych rzeźbach łączy różne elementy, takie jak modele domów, meble, kwiaty, gałązki, a także przedmioty z tworzyw sztucznych i innych materiałów, które wchodzą w interakcje z otaczającą je przestrzenią i nabierają metaforycznego charakteru. Jej prace mogą być postrzegane jako wyraz niepokoju i alienacji, a jednocześnie nie są pozbawione poczucia humoru.
