 Alison originally from Sheffield, she moved down to the Midlands 6 years ago and now lives in Kenilworth, She gained a BA Hons degree at Sheffield University and is also a qualified nurse.
Her work reflects experiences, which explores the power of nature and layers of inter-connectivity; anatomy and mortality; and the fragility of life. She loves to create work that is decorative and surreal, feminine and sometimes sculptural.
Alison layers her paint, building gestural marks. The Impressionists used the technique to create optical colour mixes –look at a close-up of a Monet’s“Haystack”.Shape, line, and tonal values of colour create an effect beyond the façade.
Her work is not limited to one particular subject although landscapes do dominate her work. Her favourite tools are palette knives, trowels and scrapers and large brushes she prefers working in acrylic and/or oil paints but works in ink and watercolours are not rare. Alison finds acrylics very easy to use, easily diluted and applied on practically everything. She loves experimenting with colour transparencies and textures. She applies media mostly on canvas on board.
Balance in paintings attracts her, as long as the work does not become static. Light or the lack of it is important too. Colour preferences change as colours affects her mood and her mood influences her choice of colours. When people look at her work, she likes to give them the possibility of seeing everyday things through a new perspective.
She has been selected for numerous open exhibitions and won the RADFAS award at the Rugby Open exhibition 2009. Artgallery rating
