I often go back and forth between some type of drawing and painting. And, I like to explore using different media like stencils and collage as well." ~Allison Meyler Allison Meyler is a contemporary painter, with a love for color, pattern, and bold gestural drawing that is apparent throughout her work. Over the last ten years, Allison has worked in several main series: abstract, faces, figures, nudes and bar art. Regardless of the subject matter, Allison’s process remains constant. She works in layers of different media, often starting with a simple but bold sketch for structure and then adding different elements such as acrylic paint, oil pastel, spray paint, acrylic ink, colored pencil, collage and RIT dye on hand washed and fringed linen...Category
