Hi! I’m Allie, an artist based in Georgia. I create original paintings inspired by books, movies, TV, and nature.
I work primarily in gouache and watercolor, creating everything from small ACEOs to larger original paintings. My artwork is organized into collections, including Literary Art, Cinema Art, Marine, Nature, and Seasonal, with new pieces added regularly.
Along with original paintings, I offer professionally produced giclée fine art prints and smaller pieces featuring my artwork, including bookmarks, greeting cards, postcards, and magnets. Everything begins with my original artwork, and I personally finish and package each order in my home studio.
One of the things that matters most to me as an artist is making art affordable and accessible. I’ve never liked the idea that someone can fall in love with a painting but have no realistic way to bring it home because it costs hundreds or thousands of dollars. I believe everyone deserves the opportunity to own artwork they genuinely love, regardless of their budget.
That’s why I intentionally create and offer my work in a range of sizes, formats, and price points. Whether someone is purchasing their first piece or adding to a collection, I want them to have the opportunity to bring home art they love. Art shouldn’t be something only a few people can afford to enjoy in their homes.
I’ve been painting for nearly a decade and originally worked primarily in oils. Over the years, my work has been included in galleries and juried exhibitions in Georgia and Montana. These days, I’ve found myself especially drawn to gouache and watercolor and the freedom they give me to experiment with different subjects, sizes, and ideas. And let’s face it, the prep, mixing, and clean-up is a lot less intense.
When I’m not painting, I serve as the Director of Marketing for a law firm in Athens, Georgia. I live in Loganville with my youngest son, one of his friends, and our cat, Miss Lydia Deetz.
You can find me across social media @alliejacksonart, where I share new artwork, works in progress, and other things happening in my studio.
Thank you for visiting my corner of the internet. I hope you find something that speaks to you.
