Allie Simpson, Contemporary Artist
welcome to my online gallery.
Through my art I enjoy exploring my view of the animals and environments that surround us. As a qualified adult teacher I am proud to enable my students to pursue their own artistic goals.

'Focus' NZ Karearea (Falcon) by A.Simpson. Watercolour and gold-leaf on wine barrel lid.
My Wildlife Work
My artworks seek to explore the rich worlds of wildlife and natural environments through contemporary impressionism.
Adopting both painterly and abstract impasto techniques, I then focus on the subjects with finer detail and a more realistic style.
I am inspired by the unique beauty and personalities surrounding us and hope to share this through my art.
Working in a wide range of mediums including acrylic, watercolour, ink, pastel and graphite.
Incorporating layers in my work through mixed media and gold-leaf. I enjoy merging unusual surfaces and mediums.
The rich colours and metallic effects are symbolic of the importance I put on our natural world and our interactions with its inhabitants.

Back to the drawing boardThe last two years have been difficult for everyone, apart from the global pandemic our family has been dealing with an accident that left me no choice but to step away from my art business and teaching. Helping care for the person to mend, recuperate and then rehabilitate.
2022 is still difficult but I am now actively working on new exhibitions and creative products that will be happening over the next 12 months. I hope you are all safe and well and thank you for your support so far. x Allie |
