Alison Bradley...Fine Art

Alison Bradley was born in Nottingham. From an early age she had a keen interest in art and after a Foundation Course in Art and Design she took a degree in Textile Design at the University of Manchester Institute of Science and Technology.

Moving from Nottingham to North Wales in 2004 gave Alison the opportunity to return to her true passion of painting, and a year later she turned professional.

Alison takes inspiration for her paintings from dramatic effects of light and shade, and the weather conditions found in the mountains of North Wales and along the coastline. She particularly enjoys portraying animals and scenes of rural life. Living in the countryside they are subjects she can study everyday. Her paintings are in mainly oil on canvas. She also finds charcoal very responsive to draw with and it lends itself to creating atmosphere that she likes to depict.

Alison exhibits regularly, and in Spring 2008 she will be opening a gallery of her own work in North Wales.
