anne elliott
It is joy in transcendent natural environments that propels much of Elliott’s work. It started with the Grand Canyon. She has visited it three different times and each time it changed her life and her work. This began her travels to awe-inspiring sites that influenced her visual and her spiritual growth.
She has floated many rivers: - the Delaware, the Colorado, the Middle Fork and Main Salmon, the Green, the Yukon. And climbed many mountains: - Mt. Kenya and Kilimanjaro, and some 25 peaks in the Adirondacks. And trekked to base camps: - of K2 in Pakistan, Chomolhari in Bhutan, Rainier in Washington State, and Fitzroy in Patagonia. During a trip in the Zanskar Mountains of India, she became intrigued with the Buddhist monasteries she visited. This led to an interest in cave temples and she subsequently explored the caves at Dunhuang in China and Ajanta and Ellora in India.
Elliott is represented by Chelsea’s Soho20 Gallery where she has a one-person show in April, 2014. She has had solo exhibitions at the Graham Gallery in New York, the Westmoreland, the Johnstown and the Blair Museums in Pennsylvania, The Hewlett Gallery of Carnegie Mellon, and The Center for the Arts at SUNY Purchase, and other venues. Her work has appeared in group shows at The Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, The Fine Arts Museum of Long Island, The New Jersey Center for Visual Arts, The Segal Gallery of Montclair University, School 33 Art Center in Baltimore, The Arts Council of Princeton, the University of the Arts in Philadelphia and many other places.Anne Elliott has a B.A. from Sarah Lawrence College and a Certificate in Electronic Design from Pratt Manhattan.
