Alanna is a south London based painter. She works with mixed mediums on stretched canvas and on paper.

Alanna’s vibrant abstract paintings are both expressive and controlled. When she works there is an initial immediacy, primarily inspired by colours and patterns in nature, antique pottery, and vintage fabrics. In her urgency to create her vision, she begins working quickly, balancing the paint around the surface using a mixture of acrylic mediums to layer, edit and experiment.

Later her paintings evolve as part of the creative process and therefore become a harmony of spontaneity and control. The result establishes a concise colour palette which she then works into carefully with small details
