Hailey Allison

12 year old Hailey is a local Grande Prairie artist.

It was Hailey’s grade 1 teacher who first mused to her parents that she felt Hailey may one day aspire to become a graphic artist because she was forever doodling on her school work.

When Hailey entered grade 4 she met an art teacher who introduce her to the world of abstract art. She fell in love with it, especially the work of Jackson Pollack and Pablo Picasso

But it wasn’t until the summer of 2008 when Hailey broke her toe, which truly led her down a path of artistic enlightenment.

To ease her boredom while her toe healed, her mother and father bought her canvases and paint. Initially she wasn’t overly interested but boredom took its toll, Hailey started to paint. To the amazement of her family they watched Hailey create art that they felt was artistically beyond her years.

Hailey then started bringing her work to school where teachers and parents started purchasing her artwork and encouraged her to show her work to others.

It is Hailey’s love of life and people that inspires her to create her own unique style of art.
