About the Artist

Alison McCauley
artist statement
There are many reasons why I choose to paint, foremost is the love of observing the beauty that abounds in the natural world and attempting to capture some of that beauty on canvas. Beauty can be found in unexpected places. With just the right light and shadow a normally mundane object can be transformed into something special.
In most of my paintings I use oil but also dabble in pastel.
Clay work has been a part of my life since college. My first paintings were on pots. These days I only work occasionally in clay. I have included a few pieces in my collection of works. These are one of a kind. I am not accepting clay commissions but would be happy to consider commissions for paintings.
