Her family counts back through several generations of artist’s and she began training in drawing and painting with her parents when she was a small child. After taking a BFA from Antioch & SVA and an MFA from Florida State University, she divided her career between being an art professor as well as a professional studio artist. Alison is married and is the mother of four adult children.
