My name is Allison Brandi, and I am a New York City based artist. People often tell me that I have my own style. I strive to portray my own visions through my pieces, and to create works that are beautiful yet content-driven. I prefer to work with India ink, watercolor, beeswax, and paints, however I am also comfortable creating pieces using glass, video art, printmaking, charcoal, markers, kante crayons, colored pencils, markers, and various other media. I use my fingers for many pieces, a brush, or a palette knife. I almost never work with one single media, unless it is on a painting. My ink pieces involve beeswax as a deterrent, and often include watercolor. My charcoals are created with ink or marker worked into the piece. I utilize various media to form each cohesive piece.
I believe that art is not just a regurgitation of what we see before us, nor is it a means of displaying just how offbeat and ‘original’ one can make his or herself. To me, art is a means of portraying a feeling or concern. Artists can and have influenced society for centuries, and I hope to join in this endeavor.
