For Alison, the ultimate human experience is making art. She unifies these art forms to explore the human condition. Alison’s drawings and paintings can be described as psychological portraiture, reflecting and revealing unseen qualities of her subject. The subject is often a person Alison is interacting with in her everyday life (she draws whoever is in the room with her) Sometimes, Alison holds mad tea- parties in other dimensions, creating expansive time areas. Many pieces originate from imagination or are first rendered from observation and then finished by means of imagination and memory.
