“Growing Together” is a collaboration piece between Allyson and her studio mate, Claire Loft, for a collaborative group show currently on display at Winter Street Studios, Creative Fusion. Allyson painted the garden-inspired background layers in her abstract style using greens, blues, white and touches of pink. Claire then painted a blooming pink rose in the forefront, inspired by a recent art retreat to southern Spain. “Growing Together” refers to both the garden inspiration and the friendship Allyson and Claire have developed during the time they’ve shared their A210 studio space since November 2023.
