About the Artist

The freedom that comes with the creative process is what motivates Allison: working on her own without formal direction, she is wholly in her element. Having appreciated art for as long as she can remember, her affinity for sketching and painting has taken on new meaning in her adult life. With each pencil line and brushstroke, she is able to achieve a sense of purpose and gratification as she becomes immersed in the flow of creativity. Whether inspiration comes from nature, her imagination, or tangible objects, Allison enjoys the process of rendering what she sees through various media.

Artistic talent runs in the family. Allison’s parents have rich family histories of skilled artists who have flourished using their God-given talents. Her dad has a penchant for art that has inspired her since childhood; his sketches would often appear on napkins in her school lunchbox.

Allison also continues to be inspired by her very bright and imaginative daughter, Margaret.

In recent years Allison’s interest has grown in drawing and painting portraits and people in action to include children and families.

Allison is a graduate of the University of Georgia. Go Dawgs!
