Allison C. Aiken
Allison believes science and art are invariably intertwined and is inspired by energy within the Earth system, chemistry (phase and composition), optics (the interplay of color and light), physics (movement and vibrations), mathematics (geometry and repeating patterns), etc. Her signature style is punctuated by bold lines and bright color.
FINE ARt
fractal Fusion
Starting in 2023 Allison has been working on vibrant acrylic pieces that integrate her love of nature with her background in science. In this collection she incorporates the idea of fractals (repeating patterns) and vibration (molecular energy) with the juxtaposition of thin and thick black outlines.
FLORAL FANTASY
Allison has always enjoyed painting flowers for the vibrant colors and fluidity in form. This new collection uses bright rich hues and floral imagery to depict the feminine energy. She uses natural flowers found in nature that are inherently strong and resilient yet also sweet and delicate.
watercolor
On occasion, Allison forays into other media besides pen and acrylic on wood and canvas. Here, she explores watercolor on paper using an ancestral paint palette from her grandmother combined with a modern day black ink.
