ELISE SPERRY
The Salem County Art League would like to congratulate and recognizes Elise Sperry as the 2023 winner of the Alex Alampi Award for Excellence in Art. Elise is a recent graduate of Woodstown High School and is the daughter of Bryan and Alicia Sperry. She plans to major in psychology and educations studies to become a therapist or teacher. Elise says, "art is the aspect of life which I find the most peace and joy in, and I want to be a catalyst in allowing others to feel the same."
The award acknowledges outstanding artistic talent demonstrated by a graduating senior art student in drawing, painting, sculpting, pottery, and/or other artistic media created by hand. The award is named in memory of Alex Alampi who was a lifelong resident of South Jersey and an award-winning artist. Alex Alampi wanted to give a glimpse of the beauty and history that resides in the meadows, creeks, and fields that we pass by every day. As a watercolor painter, Alex used a combination of beautiful transparent washes, strong composition, and crisp detail to create realistic and captivating paintings. Alex Alampi was also the founder and first president of the Salem County Art League. Alex passed away suddenly in September 2015.
