Artist Exhibit - Alison Pike

Throughout the months of November and December, local artist Ali Pike will exhibit a selection of lyrical line drawings and oil paintings.

An entire image is created with the simplicity of the line in several of Ali's floral and musical pieces. She has also included in her current exhibit vibrant colorful oil paintings - a wonderful contrast to our cold winter light. "Working primarily with oil paints, I try to simplify the subject matter to it's essence. I usually start my work with one or more sketches to outline the general composition and likeness of the subject. I layout the basis of my pallete prior to starting the painting, mixing additional colors from this basic palette as I paint. Once I start a painting I tend to work quickly, using color to convey mood and movement. As you can see, I have a tendency towards vibrant colors. My mom once said my work wouldn't match your furniture. I say be bold and buy a brighter couch to match your artwork!"
