"Josh Elliot's work is bold and expressive. His paintings bring us fond memories of some of our favorite Russian painters. We recommend acquiring his work for your collection." - Informed Collector
My work is inspired by nature. I aim to infuse my paintings with truth as well as my own artistic interpretations. I want the end result to be pleasing to the eye, a culmination of my technique and the subject matter I have chosen. I choose my subject matter for a variety of reasons: to explore color, form, for an overall theme or mood, and to express our relationship to nature.
