Allie Elia - Paintings and Ceramics

Allie Elia, an emerging local artist, lives in Stow and is working

in Akron as a sixth year senior at the Myers School of Art, as part of the

University of Akron. She will be graduating in Fall 2008 with a BFA in

ceramics and painting. Her recent projects have been illustrating a children's

book, performing live paintings and ceramic demonstrations at local

churches, and exhibiting artwork in both galleries and outdoor settings.

Allie's time between graduation and graduate school is spent

making use of her own electric kilns to produce sculpture at home.

Her area of artistic focus is figurative ceramics and paintings, though

she also enjoys drawing and writing. In the future Allie plans to

receive an MFA in ceramics, and continue creating art as a gallery

artist. She also has a passion for teaching art, and considers a

career as an art teacher to be something exciting that the future

might hold. Allie owes her current success and future achievements to the strong love and

support she continually receives from her family, friends, teachers, and her trust in a God

who gave her an amazing artistic gift.
