Artist: Elliott Hundley

Elliott Hundley was born in 1975 in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Hundley draws inspiration for his paintings from diverse sources, but especially
from his Southern heritage, steeped in family history.
He also stages improvisational photo shoots to generate imagery for his multipanel tableaus, casting friends and family in roles from antiquity and various
other sources.
