Desert Brilliance by Alison Crary

Alison Crary

As a child, Alison always loved spending time outdoors or doing any kind of art. As an adult, her interests remain the same but for many years pursuing education and a career limited time for art. After over a decade of working as an Occupational Therapist, Alison recently decided to risk a change- and pursue art seriously. Motivated to continually learn and grow, Alison is in the process of rediscovering art and falling for it all over again. Inspired by light, color, and the moods found in natural landscapes- her goal is not realism but rather to convey the 'feel' of a place. Alison's recent works use soft pastels to capture that with a colorful and loose mark making style meant to invite the viewer into her art.
