Abstract Wildlife Art

Alison Ingram is a talented and versatile wildlife artist renowned for her beautiful semi-abstract wildlife paintings. She lives in the beautiful Sussex countryside which inspires the majority of her work. Most of the paintings are created from personal experience, remembered glimpses and longer encounters with wildlife.

Inside the website there are extensive galleries of mainly British birds and our migratory visitors, but also British mammals too. There is a dedicated gallery for puffins, one of Alison’s favourite birds to paint. Galleries for private commissions and Available Paintings are also included. There are new wildlife art prints available along with greetings cards from a lot of the paintings.

Alison Ingram - Running HaresAlison Ingram is well known for her unique interpretation of wildlife, which is highly distinctive. She explores the world of colour, light, form and design. Her semi-abstract wildlife paintings use harmonious colour and design to unite the painting and are instantly recognisable and unforgettable.  The paintings are full of movement, created by the lines and circles and the all important colour choices and placement. Some paintings have drama and others have a sense of tranquillity and joy. All are very time consuming, with a realistic but rough acrylic underpainting. Oil paints are used for the numerous layers and colour blending on each painting. The compositions are very important and each painting is a challenge but fun, which hopefully shines through the work.

Alison’s paintings and other interests, such as her swift conservation work each summer and her peg-loom weaving during the winter, can be seen on Facebook and Instagram.
