Allison is originally from Fresno, CA, attended college at UC San Diego, pursued graduate studies at USC, and has studied art for many years at UC Berkeley. She resides in Piedmont, CA with her three young daughters, husband, and oversized labrador. As an artist, her intention is to capture the essence of life's fleeting moments, reminding viewers of the preciousness of time and the importance of cherishing every moment they have. She is inspired by everyday life, nature, her children, and traveling. Art has become an integral part of who she is, and she is committed to continually honing her craft and pushing the boundaries of her creativity.
