About Alison Pearce

 
 
  • Biography
    What is it about printmaking? It's a combination of the artistic and the technical, and there's an element of... chance! When I gently peel that print off the block (or plate) there's a feeling of pure delight, and an element of surprise, when you see the results. There are some wonderful effects that can only be achieved with printmaking, and that's why I love it.
    My background is architectural design, where good hand-drawing ability formed part of my skill set. However, the pandemic saw me drifting away from architectural work and committing to a 30-week Foundation in Printmaking course, something I would never have had time to do before, and which has been life-changing.
    In 2021 I applied to sell on Artfinder, and my application was approved in late August of that year. So I haven't been around on this platform for that long!
    My work is inspired by the patterns of nature, the play of light on buildings and the drama of landscapes. Also the grace and expressiveness of the human form. I should add that not all my work is printmaking. Please take a look and enjoy!
