About The Artwork
This is a Limited Edition Fine Art Print which is signed, titled and numbered by the Artist. The Print comes with a Certificate of Authenticity. The original artwork was created in response to the worldwide Covid 19 Pandemic, and the strange world that we found ourselves in. It was exhibited succesfully in the USA and sold to a Private Collector on the opening night. The artwork has a melancholy, wistful quality about it, reflecting how I was feeling at the time - all out at sea and wondering what the future held. The artwork was created by integrating original imagery of a seascape oil painting with a Highland Cow - reminding me of my home in Britain, which I would not be seeing for some time. The original piece was printed using the historic Platinotype process, drawing heavily from romanticism with a beautiful, ethereal and painterly quality. I used the Platinotype is an iron process, which uses ferric oxalate in combination with the metal salts of platinum and palladium to create the image. Unlike in a silver print, where metallic silver lies in a gelatine emulsion that coats the paper, platinum and palladium lie on the paper surface. As a result, the image is absolutely matte, with a deposit of the metal used absorbed slightly into the paper. The original artwork has now been made available as a Limited Edition Fine Art Print on Hahnemühle William Turner Paper. The William Turner by Hahnemuhle is one of the most popular papers used in the Giclee printing industry. Texture wise this fits nicely between Fine Art Paper and Premium Giclee. The paper is a 310g natural white mould made natural line paper with 100% rag content making it highly archival. It has a slight coarse texture which gives photos and artwork an elegant look. The final image is a thing of beauty which reminds us every day to be grateful for the lives that we live, and the freedom to travel and see people and family members that we love.

Alyson studied Fine Art in Greater Manchester, England, graduating with a First-Class Degree in Fine Art and a Master of Arts, before going on to study at the ARC Atelier of Fine Art in Edinburgh, Scotland. It was there that she learned the time-honoured painting and classical drawing techniques of the 19th Century Ateliers and Old Masters, building a pathway to more truthful expression and creativity, and greater artistic freedom. Alyson's passion for relearning techniques almost lost in time led to her involvement with alchemic, hand made photographic techniques, including the historic Wet Plate Collodion, Platinum and Chromogenic processes. Experimenting with ways to incorporate these beautiful chemical processes within her work, she developed new techniques to create atmospheric contemporary, interdisciplinary artworks, complementing her oil paintings in realizing her creative vision. Consequently Alyson's creates work across two primary disciplines. Original oil paintings in the old masters and tonalist traditions, intermittently capturing the world through her 200 year old Darlot Petzval lens, analogue and digital cameras to transport us to distant, hazy lands - imbuing her photographic works with a dreamlike feel that journeys into romanticism and emotionalism. Alyson often applyies washes, paints, and gold leaf onto her resolved original photographic work. Creative inspiration is inextricably linked to our deep relationship with nature, land and place, calling on elements of romanticism and emotionalism to emphasise mood, mystery and the sublime. Moving to the USA in 2018, Alyson now lives on her family farm in the Appalachian Mountains with her husband and their two Scottish Deerhounds, still residing in Lancashire, England on a regular basis. Alyson is represented by Saul Hay Gallery in Manchester, England, and by Artifact Gallery in Manhattan, New York City. She is a member of the English artist group ‘NEO Artists’, and the Artists & Alchemists movement.
