Alison’s route towards making has not been straight forward. She went to agricultural college before art school and her long-standing interest and connection with landscape and the natural world feeds into the work she makes. Initially she applied her training in textile design to wall-based work, creating images from dyed paper- and fabric- pulp. She may return to textiles but for now brush and pen..
Alison loves painting and drawing and being with dogs, dogs , dogs.
Over the past years she has changed her thinking of many aspects in her attitude and knowledge of the dog. The more she knows , the less she knows but the more she sees better to draw and paint.
