About the Item
Alston’s work explores a plea for better respect of the earth, with nudges on what society can do to create a world of substantial ecological balance by understanding the tension between environmental, social, and political issues. Her interest in the extra-artistic—most notably from scientific references—fuels her restless, inquisitive sensibility. Alston’s intentions are to bring an awareness to specific problems society faces. She has been an environmental advocate for the last two decades.
Alston is an American artist known for her interdisciplinary visual and architectural design works in reaction to the complexity of postmodernism. Her Neo-Modernistic approach encompasses her early geometric roots to the world’s current environmental issues. She maintains her systematic approach while creating multimedia works including paintings, drawings, prints, wall reliefs, and customized design forms.
Alston lived in New York City for most of her professional career and grew up as a Gulf Coast native. She attended post-graduate programs at NYU and Harvard University GSD Professional Program. She obtained a B.F.A. Auburn University and a M.A. in Architecture from Kansas State University, where she was an Assistant Professor of Architecture, Environmental Design and Color Theory and Perception. Alston has exhibited widely in Amsterdam, Japan, and England as well as throughout the US. Her work is in the permanent collections of the NMWA, the Museum of Geometric and MADI Art, the Jule Collins Smith Museum of Art, and the Mississippi Museum of Art. She received an award as Honored Artist from the MS Committee of the National Museum of Women in Arts, as well as the Bronze Award from the Japanese Government for her design of the International Urban Art Plaza Competition as the only US winner out of 233 competitors from 40 countries.
