ALISON’S INSPIRATION
Painting is a source of joy and life for Alison. She views her abstracted figures as a celebration of femininity—the uniqueness, as well as the similarities, with which we are created. Ever in awe of how the arrangement of colors, marks, and layers can draw and viewer in and tell a story, Alison utilizes color combinations, layers, brush strokes and mark-making to create multidimensional pieces that evoke their own narrative.
She is consistently inspired by her surroundings: her children, traveling, special moments in time, music, nature, scripture, fashion and interiors. Alison pours herself into each piece, but does not want to tell the viewer what to see; rather, she hopes that her work will speak to the viewer’s own experiences, so that they will connect with it in their own way.
