Alison paints almost every day, often outdoors. “I work briskly. While I’m in front of my subject, I’m focused on a feeling, a mood or an emotion, and secondarily on the scene itself. The feeling could be awe — the wonder of being alive in this world — or the mood could be resistance to change. Or I might be exploring the pull of nostalgia. When I’m painting, time is suspended. The outcome is less important than my own expansion during the process.
At some point in developing the painting, my attention shifts to the reality that I’d like to connect with the viewer, who might see what I was going for, or get swept up in a story of their own. What spark will this painting ignite in someone else? and could it happen repeatedly in a relationship between the artwork and the people who encounter it? For many of my paintings, the viewer becomes my collaborator and is necessary to the completion of the art experience.”
That’s a reason for this web site. Alison is a Maine landscape painter who works in oils, watercolors, gouache, and casein. All paintings here are originals. Each is unique, one-of-a-kind, a handmade work of fine art that was made with at least a little anguish, and with a spirit of sharing. Made in the U.S.A., though some materials were made in other countries.
Part of the proceeds from sales of these paintings will be sent to small nonprofits that serve the needs of people in vital but largely unreported parts of the world. Alison says, “My customers make this possible. Thank you!”
