This book is a dedicated Gallery Edition for current and new galleries showcasing my work, technique, process and accomplishments. My technique is unusual and unique. I use customized palette knives and create with a mixture of oils and cold wax. This technique allows for a very vibrant and energetic surface on each painting loaded with intricacies, layers, and fascinating little areas of color variations, but at a distance becomes abstracted and enticing. “When viewing my work at 18 inches there is intensity, and at 18 feet, there is serenity.” My work is difficult to photograph, but I’ve figured out a way to share these textural details through close-up photographs in their own special section on my new website. There’s also a section on inspiration, photographs of my work in situ, along with my curriculum vitae, biography, and publications. Also, be sure to check my Instagram @alisonhaleypaul for a fun and interesting perspective of an artist’s life and work.
