She works in the technique of oil painting, tempera painting, and watercolors. She has been a member of Saint Petersburg Union of Artists since 1960 (before 1992 it was the Leningrad branch of Union of Artists of Russian Federation) . [5]

Themes and characters of Gorokhova's works often inspired motifs of folklore scenes of Russian folk tales and legends. Her images are filled with allegory and symbolism. She prefers decorative painting with a clear silhouette, local color, symbolic composition, while maintaining constructive role of drawing. The color is decorative and "flat", often with a predominance of cool green and blue tones that permeate and unite scenic fabric and amplifying fantastic, sometimes mystical sound of painting.

Among Elena Gorokhova's major art works are the following paintings: "Girlfriends" (1958), [6] "Hoarfrost" and "Farewell" (both 1960), [7] "Bread store's woman seller" (1961), [8] [9] "Winter in Pereslavl-Zalessky" (1961), "Still life" (1965), "Linda" (1973), "For the water" (1975), [10] "The morning after a Snowfall", "Ballerina", "Fox" (all 1975), "White Horse" and "Fire-bird's feather" [11] (both 1979), "Debut" [12] (1980), "Oven" [13] (1988), and others.
