About  Alison McIlkenny

Alison mainly works in oil paints but she also visits acrylics and mixed media from her home studio in Moira.

​

She has a large following in her local area and beyond and is best known for her bumblebees and wildflower paintings.

​

The style Alison uses would be described as impressionistic. Her work is very bright and cheerful, shining a light and paying homage to the beautifully made natural world we live in and are connected with.  

The use of a painting knife for texture, finger blending and brush work are just a few examples of the paint applications used in her work.

​

All Alison’s artwork is painted with love and care;  and  a little bit of her soul goes into each piece with the hope it brings a smile to the viewers face.

​

"If you are passionate about something, work hard, immerse yourself in it until you can be the best you can be. Confidence in your ability and the courage to step out of your comfort zone will help you achieve your dreams"
