I have just received my print, I had a job to choose between four prints, but this one kept calling me! I love the warmth of the contrasting colours and Alison's unique style. One day, when we have decorated, I hope to purchase the other three to complete the set

Hello, and a very warm welcome to my website, thank you so much for visiting.

Here you will find paintings that are a vibrant celebration of joy and life,  elements which are expressed through colour, pattern and texture. I love to create art that both evokes emotions, and enriches its environment.

Owning a piece of original art that is personal and unique to you is very special. You will enjoy it every day in your home, and it will give you pleasure for a lifetime. My collectors have variously described my paintings as restful, evoking calm and peaceful feelings, or others as joyful, fun, inspiring and energising. The right piece of art can set the tone and ambience of any space, domestic or commercial.

I hope you enjoy browsing and find something that resonates personally with you. I understand that choosing a piece of original art can feel like a big investment, so I would love to speak with you if you would like some help selecting the perfect piece.

About Me

I am a British contemporary abstract artist and painter, based in Somerset, England. I have a degree in textile design, and many years of art making behind me. My work has evolved with a primary focus on colour, pattern and texture. I create intuitively. Inspiration can be a mood or feeling, a memory, a place, a colour palette and/or even a symbol or motif. I am also often inspired by the power of a word or a phrase. This may sometimes be incorporated in the finished piece in the form of visible or abstracted text.
Over time my unique, personal style has developed, incorporating a selective use of mixed media techniques, along with the more traditional paints and glazes. I love to create work that makes a bold visual statement as a whole, but also has richly layered surfaces full of depth and visual interest close up.

From time to time I  blog about current projects, things that inspire me, and give a sneak peek into my process behind the scenes in my studio. Please do sign up to my newsletter here for studio updates, fairs, exhibitions and best of all, first dibs on new collection releases! I promise not to overwhelm your inbox!

Enjoy browsing the art galleries for that perfect piece for your home or commercial interior.
