Beautiful, emotive, and vibrantly colourful works of art by Alyson Howard
where nature, imagination, and soul collide on canvas.
Alyson Howard is a contemporary independent artist based in Devon, United Kingdom. Her vibrant oil paintings are a vivid expression of imagination intertwined with the natural world around her. Deeply intuitive in her process, Alyson immerses herself in each piece—meditating, flowing, and allowing the work to emerge from a place of pure subconscious creativity. Her art is more than visual; it is soulful and personal, each painting a fragment of her inner world brought to life.

Soul Bathing Collection
My Soul Bathing collection is inspired by the organic patterns of light and texture found within treescapes. I interpret these natural rhythms through vivid color, layered textures, and intuitive mark-making. Working in a contemporary impressionist style, I use a range of tools and techniques to create paintings that feel alive—where light dances across the surface and natural forms seem to breathe with energy. Each piece is both a personal meditation and a tribute to the wild, untamed beauty of the natural world that surrounds us.
Wild and Free Collection
The sea is where I feel most at peace. I’ve always been drawn to the ocean—its presence has had a profound impact on my life. With its hypnotic rhythm, it soothes my soul and carries me into a meditative state. The freedom, the power, the raw expression—the ocean speaks to something deep within me. My Wild and Free collection is a visual ode to that connection—each piece a reflection of my love for the sea and the sense of liberation it brings.

Artist Statement
I was born with a thumb in my mouth and a paintbrush in my hand. My earliest memories are of complicated drawings and lots of crafting. I was created to create. This has always been a battle between what I want to do and what I should be doing in the constructs of career and life. But my art is deeper than that, it is my medicine, my freedom, and my counselor.
In my artist career which has commercially spanned over 30 years, I have sold works to collectors all across the globe. I have worked with interior designers and rolled out 45 of the same painting for a hotel in Birmingham and a series for a leisure centre. My artwork has been produced for homeware and clothing.
In the last few years, I had the honour to work with Buckingham Fine Art Publishers, where my paintings adorned high-end galleries around the country. Unfortunately, in recent I have been battling health conditions and have physical restrictions on the amount of time I can now dedicate to painting, so I am back working as an independent artist balancing my art and my health.
My soul has always yearned to be free. Throughout my life, I’ve resisted the rules and structures that felt like cages—barriers that suppressed my true identity and self-expression. For years, I sought freedom in the external world: traveling to distant places, losing myself in music and movement, chasing fleeting moments of euphoria. But those escapes were temporary, and I always found myself returning to the same emotional place.
Music is my muse juxtaposed with nature. It guides my movement, stirs deep emotion, and evokes waves of natural euphoria through the release of dopamine. Each frequency finds expression through colour, texture, and rhythm on the canvas. My work becomes a visual symphony—a harmonious blend of sound, soul, and spirit—capturing the raw energy of music intertwined with my deep studies of the natural world.
Feeling liberated—from thought, from expectation, from the noise. I painted from a place beyond the mind, engulfed in pure subconscious creativity. These works are not just paintings—they are portals. A visual representation of my subconscious mind, expansive and limitless, inviting the viewer to travel beyond the physical into another dimension.
