Allison Wickey
Allison came to 30A in 2007 for the beauty of the beach but are stayed for the soul of this unbelievable, haunting , hidden slice of heaven.
Prior to moving to the Emerald Coast, she was a Muralist and Faux Finish painter in the St. Louis area. Soon after moving here she began experimenting with the same medium, venetian plaster and glazes, in a different way; this time on wooden ‘frames’ instead of walls. After about 10 paintings she arrived at the technique she uses today, a roughly 13 step, 4 day process involving venetian plaster, acrylic paint, glazes, an orbital sander.
Finding her stride as an artist has been a long road and the journey has helped her express her emotions; a healthy stream out of her subconscious in color and shape.
