About Aly Elliot

Show Title ” City Scene”

Artist Statement:

I am a storyteller. It’s as simple and as complicated as that. I have always been fascinated by the relationships of people and places around me. I find myself telling their stories; love, loss, longing. I spent many years painting and many years photographing. I have found my happiest place through combining those loves. Every inch of paint and pixel is intentional. Every element is a part of the narrative. Every look offers another layer to the story. All of it urges a connection to the viewer.

Bio:

Personally, I am Aly Elliott of Bloomington, Indiana, USA. I’m married to Sam, and we have 6 gorgeous children. We travel, homeschool, and take in every sunset we possibly can. I’ve been a professional photographer and studio artist for 17 years, exhibiting for 33 years, and have had a gorgeous little studio on the town square since we moved here 12 years ago. I have undergrad degrees in Fine Arts and Marketing, as well as a Master of Photography, CPP, Craftsman, and Master Artist degrees from PPA. In 2022, I was honored with 2 Grand Imaging Award finalist images (in Senior portrait and in Master Artist) and am representing the United States at the World Photographic Cup in 2024. I am 5x certified Master by NAPCP in addition to being a proud ASP member and Portrait Masters Associate. I have had the distinct honor of various photography and digital art awards. I am a speaker all over the country, and an exhibiting artist with work all over the world (29 countries so far!). I am a firm believer in having it all.
