Allison Marshall

Allison Marshall studied ceramics at Falmouth School of Art in the late 1980’s. She has worked as an additional needs teacher for the last 20 years but has always spent time painting whenever she can.

Having used watercolour as a medium for many years to produce still-life paintings, she has recently discovered a technique using gum arabic and permanent inks to produce a unique visual style. Combining this technique with a new found interest in landscape photography Allison began to produce paintings that are quite different in terms of intensity of colour, and an abstract view of the landscape she has walked.

She now spends most of her time developing this newly discovered painting technique and enjoys the challenges and often surprising results it can produce.
