Bio

Alison Fowler, nee Stevens, was raised and educated in the Ottawa area, most notably in rural Manotick. During her formative years, the Stevens family resided on a sprawling property bordering the Rideau River, and it was here that Alison formulated and nurtured an abiding love of nature and gardening that to this day serves as inspiration for her works of art in the form of landscapes and still life pictorials of flora and fauna.

While attending high school, Alison discovered an

aptitude for art, drafting and building construction, three

disciplines that eventually coalesced into a four~year

stint at Algonquin College in the Interior Design

Program. Upon graduation, diploma in hand, Alison

formed a sole proprietorship ~ Alison Designs ~ and

offered specialty interior painting and colour consulting

to her clients.

After enjoying 11 and half years in her Wellington West store front studio, she has packed things up and is now paintings in her cozy home in Champlain Park where you will find her working away on her big showy poppies, thick textured landscapes and her popular ‘Wall of H’arts’.
