Born and raised in Phoenix, AZ, Allie earned both a BS in Conservation Biology + Ecology and a BFA in Painting from Arizona State University. Her artwork is inspired by her experiences as a biologist exploring and showcasing the biodiversity of the world around us. Utilizing aspects of nature, nostalgia, and personal experience, Allie blends her artistic style with iconic imagery to create culture jams by intertwining current events, both personal and global, with her love of nature and art.

Sonoran Spirit

Sonoran Spirit blends symbolism and emotion through the imagery of a bull skull and a woman. The skull, with its sharp contours and weathered texture, speaks to themes of mortality, fertility, and the untamed forces of nature. In contrast, there is an air of quiet strength; her body language is soft yet resilient. This composition depicts the harmony between life and death all while embodying a connection to both the earth and the spirit world.
