Alisier Art
I have lived and painted in East Anglia for most of my life and am now permanently based in Norwich, my home city. My work draws inspiration from shorelines and river valleys and, more recently, the post-industrial buildings and riverbanks of the city. I work in oils, acrylics, watercolours and ink, from nature and imagination. Currently, I have been focusing on writing and illustrating children's books. The latest, 'Mila's Tale' - the story of a rescue dog - is ready for publication.
Having studied Fine Art and Art History at UCS, Chelmer Institute and the Ecole du Louvre, I have exhibited at the Ferini Gallery in Lowestoft and have taken part in Suffolk Open Studios and Black Dog Arts exhibitions. ‘Earth and Water’, a collaborative exhibition at the Fisher Theatre Gallery with ceramicist Martin Dickens, was held in March 2017. Later ventures include illustrating the children's book, 'Pueo' and album designs for the British Arts Council project, 'Kolar's Gold'.
The solo exhibition, 'Trajectories', was held at the Anteros Gallery, Norwich, in September 2020.
'A Sense of Place', an exhibition of the latest paintings, was held at the Old Court Artspace, St Leonard's Road, Windsor, during December 2023.
