About
Eliana creates artwork based on themes of botanical research, distortion, and coexistence with humans and their natural environments. Surrounded by the serenity of rural Wisconsin landscapes accompanied by the busyness of Milwaukee, New York City, and the in-between in Charlotte, North Carolina she has experimented with such themes to analyze urban vs. ecological. Her mediums range from oil paint to non-traditional materials with intentions of creating intense value, bold colors, and creating an open space for interpretation. Completing a Bachelor of Arts degree at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee and studying Art History at New York University, Eliana has participated in many exhibitions across the United States including GROTA Visions in Tucson, Arizona, ‘Small Works//Big Impressions’ in Chicago, Illinois, and many more in her hometown of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
Educating
Alongside Eliana's personal art journey, she has prioritized the importance of education and aims to contribute in multiple ways. On top of working with Artists Working in Education (AWE) in Milwaukee, Wisconsin as an assistant artist, she is simultaneously increasing access to natural spaces by hosting a number of workshops incorporating nature and creativity. These workshops are established by collaborating with local organizations and venues with the goal of making sure that everyone in the community can be involved.
