Inspired by the emotional experience of being in the country, each painting invites a sense of calm, reflection, and connection.

Allison Criswell is a watercolor painter whose subjects are deeply inspired by her background as a professional vegetable gardener and lover of all things rural and traditional. Through her acquired homemaker knowledge and her hands-on experiences in the garden she is drawn to portraying peoples relationships with domestic animals, garden plants, and the rural landscape.

Each peaceful scene has a story to tell of our rich history both present and past. Through soft, luminous color and layered atmospheric washes, her paintings capture fleeting moments of light, seasons, and the tranquility that comes from a rural lifestyle.

Original paintings and fine art prints are available for collectors who value art that tells a story of rural peoples long and meaningful relationships with plants, animals and the environment.

When Allison's not in the studio, you'll find her tending her garden, hiking with her husband and daughter, or working on domestic projects on her homestead in Indiana.
