Alison is a self-taught, contemporary artist based just outside of the Atlanta area.  Influenced by her woodworking father, interiors-loving mother, artist-aunt, and her grandparents whose favorite hobby was fashioning objects out of wood and painting them, Alison fell in love with creating from an early age. Painting is a source of joy and life for Alison.  Alison loves creating vibrant, abstracted figures that celebrate femininity using color combinations, layers and marks that evoke a modern, yet classic, quality.  She is consistently inspired by her surroundings: her children, traveling, special moments in time, music, nature, scripture, fashion and interiors. Alison grew up in the Atlanta area and graduated from the University of Georgia, and later from Mercer Law School. She eventually put down the legal pad for the paintbrush and now paints and raises her four young daughters with her husband in Marietta, Georgia.
