Allison Spence
Allison Spence received an MFA in Visual Arts at the University of California, San Diego, a BFA in Painting and a BA in Art History at the University of Florida. Spence is a nationally exhibiting artist who has been included in publications such as The Washington Post and New American Paintings. She is the recipient of the Mid Atlantic Arts Fellowship (2016) and the Hamiltonian Fellowship (2014-6). Spence is drawn to incidents in nature and culture that seem to actively defy, or intentionally confuse our human inclinations towards definition. Following this, her work frequently branches into different fields including biology, horror comics, botany, digital translation, and American art history. Spence lives and works in Tallahassee, FL, and is currently an Assistant Professor of Art at Florida State University.
