Water Colour and Oil Paintings

When not designing and embroidering Fine Threads Clothing, Alison explores with her paints, both
watercolor and oils. Painting since a young age, Alison studied fine art while at the Ontario College
of Art, and has participated in many painting seminars and workshops during her career. Most recently
she has taken up oil painting and is enjoying exploring with this expressive medium.
Inspired by the natural beauty that surrounds her, Alison's work reflects her connection to the natural
world and her love for the outdoors. She is most happy when painting en plein aire - breathing in the
emotion of a grand landscape, or the details of a particular flower, and working to capture that elusive
moment before her.
Alison held her 4th exhibition of painted works in Nelson's 2008 Artwalk. Some of her current pieces can be
viewed below. Prices as listed do not include frames.
