Bio for Annual Juried Exhibit

This is Allison A. Gardiner’s (Allie’s) 2nd time joining the Annual Exhibition (though she has tried every year since ’05 thankfully with help from her parents!). Her first was in ‘06 with her large oil painting titled, Muddy Hyenna, which she painted during her ’05 summer internship with Tom Deininger. She is a native to Newport, RI, attended Rogers High School (grad.’06), and RISD precollege for textiles, summer ’04. In ’06 she placed 2nd in Senator Reed’s Art Competition where she won the honor of having her pencil drawing, Blue, hung in Senator Reed’s RI office. She attended Cornell University for Landscape Architecture (gard.’10) and studied abroad for a year (’08-’09) in Denmark where she focused on Urban Design and Architecture. In ’10 Allison received the Art League of RI’s Curators Award for Multi Media Maureen. Currently she is living in Chicago, IL, where she is pursing work in Urban Design. She currently also takes on portraits by commission. For more info please check, http://agardinerportraits.blogspot.com/
