She holds a bachelor of fine arts degree from the University of Kansas and has received numerous awards from organizations such as the Briscoe Western Art Museum; the Portrait Society of America, Tallahassee, Florida; the Art Renewal Center, Port Reading, New Jersey; and the Coors Western Art Exhibition and Sale at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, Colorado.

Elliott’s West Texas studio sits on a bed of ancient lava rock overlooking a vast old ranch. The wandering javelina herds, deer, and turkey are frequent visitors, reminding her of John Muir's observation: "When one tugs at a single thing in nature, he finds it connected to the rest of the world."
