Allison Ford
Allison Ford is a Southern artist, mother and life lover. She grew up in Charleston, SC,, attended a creative arts school and developed an appreciation for the arts at a young age. In college, although she had a strong desire to be in the studio, she talked herself out of taking a painting course and took sculpture and printmaking instead. For years thereafter, she longed to be in a creative space again.
It would not be until she was between jobs that she would gain the courage and tenacity to leap with two feet into painting. She took a course with a group of seasoned artists and soaked up the critique while learning the basics of color theory. She started collaging and being free with mixing colors and exploring and has not put down the brush since.
Allison is primarily an abstract artist with a love for mixed media design and collage work. She focuses on painting how she feels and is inspired by organic shapes, nature and bright colors. Her work is full of texture, depth, and layers. Allison aspires to produce works that provoke viewers and collectors alike to dive into the painting, to touch and feel it, and explore the work with all of their senses.
