Alison Friend

Alison Friend is a British artist known for her whimsical, anthropomorphic animal portraits. She first graduated from university with a degree in Fine Art and Printmaking, before becoming an accomplished children’s book illustrator.

Friend’s oil paintings combine the timeless techniques of the Old Masters with a playful contemporary twist, capturing the human-like antics of cats and dogs. This distinctive style has attracted collectors worldwide and earned her exhibitions across the UK, Los Angeles, New York, and Miami, including the London Art Fair, Frieze Seoul, Art Jakarta, British Art Fair, Context, and the Royal Academy Summer exhibition.

Based in the Lake District with her son, Alison continues to imagine, paint and share characters that charm, surprise and connect with audiences everywhere.
