Allie Bartlett is an interdisciplinary visual artist from Nova Scotia. She attended the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design and the School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts in Boston, where she received her BFA in Studio Art.
Working mostly in drawing, painting and photography, Bartlett is interested in the aesthetics of memory and often blurs the line between her different mediums.
Outside of the studio, Bartlett can be found hiking with her film camera and identifying local flora.
