Five to Watch by Alison Malafronte in Fine Art Connoisseur Nov/Dec 2023
This article explores part of my life story and how I was drawn into creating art. My father died when I was a teenager, and the grief I felt at his death seemed to expand my perception of Beauty. Seeing Beauty restored me. After that experience, I wanted to learn how to see more deeply and create art that expressed the aliveness and connection to life that Beauty brings.
