Allison was born in Wilmington, NC but have lived in Charlotte, NC much of my life. For 20 years, Allison has had a successful career painting faux finishes and murals before returning to the canvas after a series of life changes. In 2007, a major change occurred when she married her husband Jay, and went from a Mom of 2 to a Mom of 6 (5 girls!). In 2008, she began studying oil painting and discovered her true passion. She became an artist in residence at Braitman Studio in Charlotte, NC and since has been painting full time in oils, building a home studio, teaching oil painting and art business workshops around the southeast, and even leading painting workshops in the south of France!
