Biography

Agnieszka (Aga) Elliott, is a Signature Member of the Artists for Conservation and a nationally and internationally recognized wildlife artist. Self-educated, she was born in Poland, and is now a Colorado resident. Her primary medium is oil. She draws inspiration from artists like Robert Bateman and Carl Brenders, who not only are naturalists, but who successfully capture wildlife, and their natural environments, through realism.
Aga believes that wildlife art has the potential to inspire viewers to conversation and education, inevitably leading to increased awareness of the plight of our planet’s animals.
She aims to portray animals in their moments of beauty. Her goal is to capture their delight of simply being and the essence of their movement, emotion, passion, vulnerability, and majesty. She presents her subjects with the purity of spirit that comes from pure existence in the moment of their capture. Every one of her pieces has a story that is emotive and emotional.
Aga’s hope is to promote appreciation of the creatures that share our world, in the hope that they will not be lost to us forever.
Aga was involved in Colorado’s proposition 114 to reintroduce gray wolves to Colorado. Her donation of an auctioned artwork, “Advocate for Equilibrium”, raised $10,000 for this cause.
I am an artist with a passion for conservation. My goal as an artist is to paint for this cause: to be a voice for all the voiceless ones. This is the reason I do what I do.
At the beginning of 2020 I was honored by playing a small part in the effort to re-introduce gray wolves to Colorado’s western slopes by painting "Advocate for Equilibrium", a tribute to Yellowstone’s Wolf 8. Wolf 8 was an underdog who, against all the odds, proved to be a caring leader, pack member, litter mate, breeding partner, mate, and sire. In short, an example to all of us.
