Good morning on this beautiful blustery day. If you’d like to cozy up and read a little bit about my art practice, grab a coffee and have a look at this recent blog post by Vanessa Sicotte of Damask & Dentelle... I’m thrilled and honoured to be the artist in residence at L’appartement https://damasketdentelle.com//artist-in-residence-allison/

Bye 2020. We all learned so much this year. As hard as it was...we grew, learned, opened our eyes. We were brought a greater sense of gratitude. We had wake up calls. We learned how to communicate differently. We slowed down.... I carved through the unknown and forged ahead with my artwork and online business. I can’t even believe it....I was able to sell more art this year than any other. Is it because people are home and putting more value in their spaces, improving their decor? Or is it that we all need connection right now. There is something very personal about artwork and the feelings it can evoke. Please share your thoughts! As we roll into 2021, I hope that we can continue on and improve on this movement we have witnessed. My primary goal is to care for my family and continue creating wonderful art to share with the world. Thank you to all who supported me during these unexpected and turbulent times. My heart is full of gratitude. Happy New Year!

I am feeling so inspired by an upcoming opportunity! I just got off a call with Vanessa Sicotte, the designer, author, curator (and all around awesome human-being) behind @damask_dentelle and @lappartementpardd I am pleased to announce that I will be creating my next collection exclusively for @lappartementpardd... She will be having my work in residence for 4-6 weeks beginning mid January! What a way to kick off 2021 More details to follow, but for now...join me in a happy dance!

Morning play time. I’m loving these solid oak hanging frames from @oppositewall . A local (Montreal) company that has the nicest selection of modern frames. @vprovostphoto... #artwork_in_studio #artstudiolife #flatlayoftheday

My friends....The Foraged Collection is now live on the site. www.allisonrobinstudios.com/the-foraged-collection-1 Thank you to my loving subscribers who have shown support during the prelaunch. I am overwhelmed by the response.... There are 3 pieces still available. #theforagedcollection

As I sit here with my morning coffee, I find myself thinking about all that 2020 was....and was not. It’s a lot. Too much for me to deep dive into right now (and here), but if there is any silver lining, I’m leaving 2020 behind with a deep sense of gratitude and determination. I definitely have some feelings to share on this.....after coffee. THRIVE *Sold*... 12x12 acrylic on gallery canvas #fineartist #doitfortheprocess #makingartwork #mondaymonday

It’s ready. All the details lovingly complete. #theforagedcollection is releasing today at 4pm for subscribers. Tomorrow, November 20th at noon the works will be live on the site for all to view.... This collection stirs a lot of emotion in me. My favourite season, scented with wood smoke and maple leaves. Laden Autumn. Boughs of gold. Windswept fields. Preparedness. Nostalgia. Comfort. Each leaf falls. It’s not too late to sign up to my insiders list (DM me and I’ll add you, or visit my website www.allisonrobinstudios.com) As a subscriber you gain early entry to collections.
