About this event

Continuum | Connections through Landscapes

‘Continuum’
Connections through Landscapes

Alison Orchard’s paintings arise from a lifelong conversation with the landscape, shaped by her experience of the Cornish coast and the woodlands surrounding her Hampshire studio. She first visited the St. Ives School of Painting as a teenager, experiencing its lively artistic community and discovering the thrill of painting outdoors on the wild Cornish coast. Alison studied sculpture and painting before completing her Illustration degree at Harrow College, University of Westminster. She initially built a successful career as a commercial illustrator and designer before pivoting fully into fine art with her first solo exhibition, Arvor, in 2009. She has since exhibited widely with prominent galleries, and her work has a growing following. She currently runs her own studio and gallery in Hampshire, offering collectors a direct and immersive experience of her working practice.

Alison is fascinated by the sky and the sea, the vastness of the coastal horizon and closer to home, the light filtering through trees and the changing colours of the heathland. Her paintings are confident, expressive, and rich in colour, inviting the viewer to pause, to experience the physicality of the paint, and the quiet power of the landscape.
