Aly graduated from Penn State University in 2015 with degrees in advertising, photojournalism, & painting.

Her undergradute focus was in portraiture oil painting. Expressive line work has been her signature since she first began art classes at 14.

Writing & storytelling are so strongly woven into my art because they are so strongly woven into me. Writing was the first form of artistic expression I found. It was my english teacher that walked me down to the art room & introduced me to a sketchbook.

I believe good art can be found everywhere, but great art tells a story.

Born & raised in Philadelphia and the youngest child in every way. My parents and my siblings are my heart — and my artwork is an extension of that. Stories of my upbringing are always being woven into my paintings.

Aly resides in Pendleton, South Carolina, with her husband (& fellow Nittany Lion!), Justin, and her two sons, Luke and Elijah. Home is the Carolina sunshine.

From NYC to Philadelphia & down south to Greenville, graphic designer is a hat I’ve always felt like an imposter wearing. At 30, I finally got tired of that storyline.

I’ve been at it since 2011. Graphic Design is life-giving for my creative & problem-solving spirit.
