Elena Riley
I am a recent graduate from Agnes Scott College with a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Arts with a concentration in visual practices. I have experience in Graphic design, website design, digital media creation, and art research.
In my artistic practice, I work primarily with painting and printmaking; however, I am beginning to expand into more three-dimensional work and into tattooing. My work is narrative-driven and explores themes and questions around life, death, and spirtuality often through animal subjects.
