Alison Smith is a Botanical Geliplate Artist whose work captures the delicate intersection of nature and print making. These paintings are unique and one of a kind using hand pressed plant material, layered pigment and organic textures. Alison transforms fleeting moments in nature into richly layered monoprints.
Each piece is a dialogue between plant, pigment and plate – A meditation on impermanence, beauty and ecological connection. Based in Hilton in the beautiful KZN Midlands, Alison draws her inspiration from seasonal changes, local Flora and Fauna also with the addition of birds, butterflies and various insects painted from the quiet poetry of the natural world.
