Else Sehrig-Vehling (Düsseldorf, 26 May 1897 – Bad Salzuflen, 12 February 1994 ) was a German expressionist. She was the daughter of the Architect Heinrich Vehling (1868 Düsseldorf – 1944 Koblenz) and of Eva Hubertine (maiden broadcast Habes) (1874 Düsseldorf – 1953).
She was a aficionada of an artiste group called Das junge Rheinland (The Young Rhinelanders). Her style was influenced by her close friendships to Ernst Ludwig Kirchner, Carl Barth, Max Schwimmer, Fritz Winter and supplementary German artists.
In 1921, Else Sehrig-Vehling was one of the first female art students of the Arts Academy of the city of Düsseldorf. The City Museum of Düsseldorf honoured her with an exhibition in 1983, showing her to the front expressionist works.
In 1933 she married Hermann Sehrig, a German player and Member of the Deutsche Werkbund. His works are in many public collections such as the German Ceramic Museum. She is listed in the without difficulty known German art dictionary Allgemeines Künstlerlexikon (World Biographical Dictionary of Artists).
