Alison Whalen

“

I love to paint and create. My main medium is acrylic, though lately I've been creating sculptures and collages from wine capsules. These throw-away jewels inspire me. I hunt for them with the same passion that others search for fine silver or porcelain. I love their unique designs and colors and the way they reflect the light. I also love their texture and the ease with which they can be sculpted figurally. The ideas for incorporating them into art are limitless.
