My Story
Alison Hainey is an artist and Landscape Architect based in London and Suffolk.
After graduating in Landscape design Alison worked in the USA and Hong Kong, before setting up her own landscape practice in London in 1986. Her drawing style has evolved through what Alison describes as an “obsessive search” to create work that examines our inner vulnerabilities. More recently, Alison has explored these ideas through painting and printmaking.
Alison’s work focuses on the human figure. “The search,” she describes, “is not for realism or anatomical accuracy, but an exploration of emotions, revealed to us by the subconscious signals we use to communicate." Solitary heads and groups of figures are a recurring theme in this search, where the nature of the contemplative thought or dialogue is open to interpretation.
More recent works include studies of trees and the landscape of Suffolk.
