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 fifteen years managing and subsequently owning a contemporary gallery and arts centre 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 Art at the Arts University in Bournemouth and graduated in 2013 with First Class Honours, 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. Alison also runs a range of workshops, courses and painting weekends from her studio plus being appointed by Arts University Bournemouth as a Visiting Tutor specialising in Art, Design and Creative Studies.
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. Visit Alison's website: www.learningtopaint.co.uk
