COASTAL
These paintings were inspired by nature along the coast.
“I am inspired daily by the coast. Whether on the water or along the shoreline, each outing provides an abundance of ideas to paint.” - Allan
HERITAGE
These paintings were inspired by human heritage.
“Weathered wood, rusted metal, the evidence of time and nature on items of our past…these things provide colours and textures I enjoy while speaking to my interest in our history.” - Allan
URBAN
These paintings were inspired by nature in an urban environment.
“I have often found inspiration in my own backyard or as I’ve gone about my daily life, even when I lived in a city.” - Allan
PERCHED
These paintings were inspired by birds and the places they perch.
“It is often the line of a branch and the repetition of shapes and angles that spark an idea for a painting. I then arrange those ideas to direct the viewer’s eye within the composition, carefully considering the play of light and subtlety of colour.” - Allan
ANIMALS
These paintings were inspired by animals and the land they inhabit.
“Every time I see an animal while trekking the trails, I feel like I have witnessed something special. It is always exciting to see.” - Allan
EXOTIC
These paintings were inspired by travel and nature beyond North America.
“Most of my inspiration comes from close to home but the diversity of nature around the world has inspired a number of my paintings as well.” - Allan
