About

Alison grew up in Hobart where she developed an early interest in art - especially drawing and etching -  together with a love of the Tasmanian bush and coastal landscape. 

Formerly a practising lawyer, Alison is a full time visual artist dividing her time between Melbourne, Victoria and Orford, on the East Coast of Tasmania.  

Alison continues to be inspired by regular "Shack" time spent with her family on the East Coast of Tasmania and frequent bushwalking adventures in remote and wild places in Tasmania and beyond. 

'I am drawn to and inspired by the natural environment.  My practice explores this positive response to landscape and natural forms.  Painting in oils, I aim to capture and convey the essence of the subject particularly though the use of colour, brushstrokes, mark making and movement.'
