Elise Aleman

Elise Aleman (b. 1960) embodies the vibrant spirit of a Cuban-born artist who found her home in the artistic haven of Savannah, GA. In 2021, she proudly graduated with a BFA from SCAD, and now, she ardently pursues an MFA at GSU, furthering her artistic journey, and breathing new life into her lifelong passion. 

A renaissance woman of the art world, Elise fearlessly navigates the realms of oil, acrylics, printmaking, and mixed media, showcasing her eclectic talents.

Unapologetically a Christian artist, Elise wields her creative prowess to share her faith with the world. With a painter's brush and an artist's heart, she breathes visual life into biblical themes, verses, and beliefs. Elise's art isn't just a spectacle for the eyes; it's an invitation to the soul. Her pieces aspire to inspire, sparking introspection in those fortunate enough to gaze upon them.

Elise's creative journey isn't a straight line. She spent over 30 years in the graphic design trenches before a serendipitous turn reignited her dormant dream. After teaching a drawing class, she heard the call of the canvas, beckoning her back to the world of fine art. Encouraged by her son and dear friends, she courageously returned to art school, determined to refine her skills and reclaim her identity as a painter.

For Elise, art is more than a mere pastime; it's an inner compulsion to uplift and motivate others. Her creations aren't content with being mere adornments on walls; they aim to provoke a transcendental experience within the viewer's heart and soul. Through her work, Elise hopes to kindle genuine inquiries and guide explorations into the profound depths of the Bible. And when the muse strikes, she seamlessly merges her passion for creative writing with her visual expressions.

Elise Aleman's art is a testament to resilience, faith, and the enduring power of creativity. She doesn't just paint; she weaves a tapestry of inspiration, inviting you to embark on a journey of self-discovery and spiritual exploration.
