Alyson studied Fine Art in Greater Manchester, England, graduating with a First-Class Degree in Fine Art and a Master of Arts, before going  on to study at the ARC Atelier of Fine Art in Edinburgh Scotland, to learn the time-honoured drawing and painting methods of the Masters. Her passion for relearning techniques almost lost in time led to Alyson’s involvement with alchemic photographic techniques, including the Platinum, Wet Plate Collodion and Daguerreotype processes – subsequently incorporating these antiquated processes in her work to create atmospheric, contemporary artworks.

 Alyson lives  in the  Appalachian Mountains  with her husband and their two  Scottish Deerhounds. When  in England, Alyson resides in Lancashire . 

Alyson’s work is exhibited internationally, with gallery representation in Manchester, London and Manhattan, New York. She is a member of the artist group ‘NEO Artists’.
