Alison is an iconographer and painter based in West Wales. She designs and paints panel icons within the Byzantine tradition of Christian Orthodox iconography, using egg tempera, natural pigments and gilding.
A QEST Scholarship has enabled her to undertake a three-year Icon Painting Programme at the Prince’s Foundation School of Traditional Arts. Through her studies she has developed a firm foundation in the techniques and theology of panel icon painting. This has helped Alison to change direction from fine art practice into professional iconography, undertaking commissions for painted icon panels traditionally and authentically made in the Christian Orthodox tradition.
