Summer 2011 with Grandma Bonnie Clark
There is nothing that Oregon artist Allison Bell Fox loves more than to capture the intricacies of nature, the character of animals, and the beauty of the Pacific Northwest. An artistic mind, creative design sense and innate eye for color make her a valuable asset to art lovers and critics alike. And as Allison continues to dabble in a wide variety of artistic ventures, her diverse portfolio demonstrates an ever growing range of technique and ability to capture subject matter with a creative and artistic twist.
Allison's artistic journey began in diapers, as she would methodically break each Crayola crayon in half before decorating every inch of scratch paper from the seat of her high chair. With the encouragement and support of her family, Allison grew up with numerous opportunities and outlets for creativity. Over the years, Allison has attended many workshops diverse in medias such as: oil, acrylic, pastel, pottery, ceramics, printmaking, sculpture and photography. During that time she had the chance to work with a several creative mentors such as her art teacher, Steve Labadie, at the Hood River Valley High School, and a fabulous staff of art professors at the University of Montana, Missoula; including ceramicist Beth Lo, sculptor Cathryn Mallory and painter MaryAnn Bonjorni.
