Alison Sykes-Fryer is an artist known for her distinctive collage work that captures the texture of place, memory, and personal experience. An award-winning artist, Alison has developed a visual language rooted in layered materials, vibrant color, and an intuitive sense of composition. Her main practice focuses on mixed media and collage, combining acrylic inks and paints with fragments of local print media to create evocative images that convey emotion, atmosphere, and narrative. Each piece she creates is an exploration—whether of a moment in time, a connection to the landscape, or the human relationship to place.
