Alison graduated from St Martins School of Art in 1983 and has worked with art in a myriad of ways since as a painter/printmaker as well as teaching in Adult Education in Surrey and using art in her counselling practice and with young offenders. More recently this has extended to arts mentoring and supporting people with mental illness through making art.
