About the artist: Alison Teresa Carlo Alison is self-taught.  She started drawing as a horse-crazy young girl in Kalamazoo, Michigan.  She drew horses and outdoor scenes, as she has always been a nature lover and prefers spending time outside.  While earning her B.A. in chemistry at Kalamazoo College, she had the opportunity to study art history for six months in Strasbourg, France.   She remembers wishing that she could create works as beautiful as those she saw in the European museums.  After college, she moved to San Diego, California.  Some years later, she married a man who happened to be an art collector.  Her husband collects Western Art, so for years she has been living among beautiful paintings.  After the birth of their son, she began to draw and paint again. ​ Alison's work has been exhibited in gallery shows in both New York and California, and is also held in private collections nationwide.  She is currently showing work at Off Track Gallery in Encinitas, CA. I hope you enjoy the painting. Please: No returns
