ELLIOTT FROM
LIVE ARTIST

Elliott From’s performances have been called “explosive”. Whether he is throwing paint at the canvas with frenetic energy, or carefully tracing the outline of an image, there is no mistaking his work. His talent has taken him around the world performing for iconic events such as the Olympic Games, the NHL Playoffs, the Kentucky Derby, and numerous others, but he is most known for his “BIG” heart. To date the sale of Elliott’s work has raised over 3.75 million dollars for charity, and that number continues to grow. Elliott currently resides in Chicago, and is the owner of Artbeat Live Studios and Artbeat Gallery.
