Information
Born
in Montreal, Canada in 1959, Alison Goodwin moved
with her family to Portland, Maine when she was nine
years old. Determined to be an artist from the age
of five, Alison studied art at the University of Southern
Maine and at Portland School of Art.
Following
her studies, Alison primarily created traditional
landscapes. After several years, she evolved a highly
individual style using acrylic paint, oil bars, and
oil pastels to create works that explode with colour
and movement.
The
skewed perspective, rich texture, dramatic colour
and expressive drawing in Alison's work recalls Van
Gogh and Matisse. Like her great predecessors, Alison
reveals with striking spontaneity and directness the
personal and spiritual world she has discovered. This
is not unexpected in Goodwin, who seems to find her
artistic sense of self in a space between living and
dreaming.
