Allie was born and raised in

Centerville, Utah where she grew up watching her dad, Michael Hadley paint and sell his work in Jackson, WY. Many family vacations were spent driving to Jackson Hole where the smell of oil paint and wool blankets filled the air as her family followed the Snake River west. This played a large role in motivating Allie to pursue art at an early age.

Allie received her Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree and studied several years back under nationally recognized artists: Jill Carver, G. Russell Case and Kathryn Stats. “Learning from these seasoned artists in a plein air setting was inspiring. My ability to see the outdoors and deconstruct its critical elements to formulate a well-planned painting increased tenfold." Most recently, Allie is studying under renowned landscape painter, Scott Christensen. “Thinking creatively and allowing time for ideas and themes to develop are key points for me in this ongoing education. I feel my art has infinite potential and look forward to deliberate exploration to foster new ideas.”

In addition to on-going education, Allie is an award-winning artist. She received the Impressionist Award of Excellence in 2021 at the Oil Painters of America (OPA) Western Regional Exhibition. She received awards two consecutive years in a row with the American Impressionist Society’s (AIS) Small Works Showcase. In 2021 she received first place at the Wet Wall Competition in South Carolina, and in 2022 received an Honorable Mention in the Toas, New Mexico exhibition. Allie is now a signature member of the AIS -an accomplishment achieved by only 14% of its entire membership.

On an every day occasion, Allie can be spotted painting the landscape in and around the Treasure Valley. “The richness of painting from life, whether in the studio or outdoors, is where I find myself as an artist.”

Allie currently resides with her husband and young children in Meridian, ID.
