Allison Neal completed a degree in Fine Art at Wolverhampton University, an ATC at Sussex, an MA in printmaking at Camberwell and a PhD by practice at the University of Gloucester.
​
She has taught at every level from leisure classes to MA and finally as course leader for a degree in Fine Art. She’s written BA and MA courses and been an examiner for several degree courses but left teaching to concentrate on her own work.
​
She works in whatever material comes to hand and she’s fascinated by the way that the present, like a shabby, threadbare blanket, barely conceals the fragmented, ruined past whether the remains of destroyed industries or the stories and rituals that are all that is left of ancient beliefs.
Born: Sussex, England.
Lives: Abergavenny, Wales.
