ALISON WERBELOFF
Alison is a Sydney based fine artist who graduated from East Sydney Technical College in Dress Design and Graphic Design. She began working as a textile designer in a very creative rag trade studio (14 years) but eventually abandoned this career to devote herself to painting. Having won a Scholarship at Julian Ashton Art School in The Rocks, her first exhibit came in 2007 at The Mechanics School of Arts in Pitt St with following exhibitions, including Artists & Craftsmen of Pittwater Art Shows and a 2024 1st Prize win in the Rotary Art Show (Northern Beaches). She has also been a finalist and placed in recent Sydney based Prizes.
Ali is a representational oil painter using traditional techniques and methods, slowly bringing her subjects to life with layers of paint and glazes. Her recent subjects have been Northern Beaches landscapes and figures. She paints realistic nostalgic scenes of beach holidays and old postcard-like memories by weaving a tapestry in oil paint of escapism set on a backdrop of Sydney’s Northern Beaches. Her love affair with the beach and ocean is a constant inspiration and flows throughout her paintings.
