New York, New York

Alana grew up in Shavertown, PA and attended Wyoming Seminary Upper School, where she began to take art seriously. She graduated from Saint Joseph's University in Philadelphia, PA where she studied liberal arts and received a BA in art. Alana is currently living in New York City where she is a second year graduate student at the New York Studio School.

"It's important for artists to push themselves out of their comfort zones. Since I do not usually use found objects it was challenging to try to make it work for me. The hubcaps gave way to a new and interesting way for me to look at painting. I am also interested in seeing art outside the art world of New York City so I was pleased to participate in such a project as Landfillart."Alana Allen
