Alison C. Board has always had a creative career. Having originally trained to be a ballet teacher, she changed her subject to fine art and spent 15 years managing and subsequently owning a contemporary gallery and arts center in the south west of the UK where she also taught both the adult and children's courses. In 2009 she gave it up to pursue her ambition of studying for a degree in Fine Arts and graduated in 2013 with First Class Honors, adding to this with education qualifications in Distance Learning.
Alison's ever-growing portfolio includes regular demonstrations, workshops and reaching people across the world through her online presence. When Alison isn't teaching, she can be found sketching and photographing with her husband Richard and her ever growing menagerie of animals, surrounded by the beautiful Dorset landscape. She is inspired by her countryside home and her family history, as well as music, film, theatre, and creative writing.
