Robert Allison – Missouri
Born in the deep south but raised since a teen in Missouri, Robert Allison is a self-taught artist who calls his style "flamboyant
common sense." His art reflects the divergences of a long career in business and degrees in both English and the sciences.
Allison feels he finds a "new way to make the paint behave" almost every day and looks for that perfect harmony that makes
colors "sing together."
