With experimental color combinations and textural passages, Allison creates a subtle tension in her work that allows for moments of mystery and emotional connection.
Allison’s large-scale paintings are rooted in the natural world, inspired by a love for Minnesota land and waterscapes. Her abstracted botanicals and immersive landscapes often begin with gestural mark-making and evolve over multiple sessions of intuitive painting. Allison’s process mimics the rhythms of nature, as her pieces move through several cycles of high energy brushstrokes and obscuring layers, resulting in an evocative surface.
