Alison Marra is an abstract painter and mixed media artist whose work investigates themes of cultural femininity, human instinct, and the natural environment
My work is inspired by the natural world. It focuses on the patterns and particles that run throughout the cosmos rather than the distinct forms that make up the material world. Advances in technology reveal images of realities once invisible to us. While their beauty and perfection cannot be matched, they suggest endless possibilities that inspire me to create

Metaphor compels me as much as seeing. As for process: I carve an unbroken contour line in plywood, abstracted from nature. Roll translucent ink to block. Register handmade Japanese paper and apply pressure to transfer image. Carve again from same block, destroying details carved previously. Roll ink of darker value. Register same paper on “reduced” block and apply pressure. Repeat
42 Hudson Street, Sleepy Hollow
My work combines architectural elements with contrasting interiors. The paintings explore color, texture, and light, and the interplay between inside and outside. The architectural structure has a “conversation” with the more free-flowing, organic or ephemeral elements – the shifting patterns of light inside, or snippets of landscape glimpsed through a window or door

I am drawn to painting sweets for their enticing textures, shapes, and colors that seduce you with mouth-watering rewards. These iconic images are a visual feast for the eyes while eliciting nostalgic childhood memories, when life was uncomplicated. They evoke a time in my life when an Oreo or Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup was the center of my universe.
My drawings are based on my life experiences using backyard “critters” as subject matter. Occasionally, I mix and mingle animal parts, creating new animals which fit the concept. I feel myself to be in the tradition of English draftsmen such as Rowlandsen, Blake, and Hogarth. I have been called by critics a cartoonist who is also a true artist

Moose, cottontail, painted dog, deer, stand alone inside the margins- the otherwise empty space of the frame. Each arresting image of the individual connects with that same lonely part of me. There exists nothing else in the art to distract the viewer from the life that it holds and the vulnerability of all lives as nature becomes a specter
Cafe Latte, 36 Cedar Street, Dobbs Ferry
My world is of Earth and Spirit. Nature is at once a deep source of inspiration and a comforting healer. The light which radiates from and about the subject is what I am moved to capture. I try to express the essence – the spirit of a place, a person, a moment in time.

Intimate landscapes, portraits, and figure paintings based on my people and places here in the lower Hudson Valley are at the center of my practice. But I also make large iconic paintings that struggle with American identity. I work in the loose modernist tradition of Manet, Van Gogh, and Bellows

I use an iPad, to quickly record ideas. Then, I will either complete the work entirely on the iPad, or use more traditional materials such as watercolor paper and paint. My humor is inspired by animals and by human nature, and my paintings are inspired by vistas such as the light in the morning on the Hudson Palisades
