Elena Carlie was born in Romania; a country known for its rich cultural heritage and great natural beauty. At the age of 22, she moved to the United States where she expanded her horizons and grew as an artist. She has studied Fine arts since she was a child and currently holds a BFA in graphic design from the University of NH. āArt defines our humanity, freedom, and individuality. It is a way to articulate abstract thought and separates us from other life forms. Art is incredibly therapeutic for me, and foremost a strong
passion. Itās not something I think about, but rather, something I feel.ā Carlie finds inspiration everywhere. She strives to discover new ways of interpretation and
sees this as a formula to remain fresh. It is a way of having fun while doing something that she loves. āTo me, anything that can be manipulated can become an art medium.ā āI love to work with watercolor paint, oil paint, acrylic paint, pencil, pen, and ink. However, the digital tools available today are pushing the limits of creativity and I find myself very involved with it.ā
