Artist Alison Jardine grew up in the UK and spent a considerable amount of time traveling around the country and throughout Europe, working primarily as a writer and editor. It wasn’t until 2004 when she moved to Texas with her husband and twin daughters that she started to seriously pursue art. Since the early days, Alison has exhibited her work in a number of galleries with a core interest in nature, inspired by the idyllic setting of her childhood and the Chinese and Japanese philosophic traditions of the Sublime in nature.

Over the past few years, pixels and the effects of digitalization on imagery and perception have become an additional inspiration for her work:

“Whether stored in our biological memories, or stored as a photograph on a computer, our memory is changed by a complex interaction of our physical biology, as well as our emotional reaction and our personal narrative. In addition, the method of storage enacts its own changes, whether pixelated and compressed, or made hazy and indistinct by time.

Any artist’s work reflects their own environment, and mine exists exactly where I do: within nature, and inevitably within the digital media that surrounds us, and both these worlds are made of light, the unifying motif of my artworks.”
