Call me Elliott. Some years ago—never mind how long precisely—having been encouraged by teachers and family, and nothing particular to interest me in staying still, I thought I would do all I could and see the creative parts of life.
Elliott West is a multimedia artist, multi-instrumentalist, recording artist, graphic designer and event organizer. Though their art and music span broad mediums and genres, the themes of self discovery, love of the ocean, the stars and the unknown seeps through everything they create. Once called a monarch of the do-it-yourself mentality, there’s always something oozing out of their head.
J. Elliott “E.T” L. West (b. 2004 in Louisville, Kentucky) is living in Flagstaff, Arizona and current student at Northern Arizona University, expected to graduate 2026 with a BFA in studio art with an emphasis in printmaking. They currently intern at Moon Crater Press, a print shop owned by James Turrell, under master printer Joe Segura.
