Allison Crain Trundle

Allison Crain Trundle earned her BFA from the University of New Mexico, specializing in figurative and landscape painting. Her artistic exploration included immersive plein air painting experiences at the university's DH Lawrence Ranch program in rural northern New Mexico. Focused on canyonlands and expansive vistas, she delved into color and light, laying the groundwork for her future abstract works. Trundle's engagement with landscapes profoundly influenced her transition towards an abstract style. 

Expressing her artistic goals, Trundle notes, "Light, composition, patterns, synthesis (and lack of), are my interests. I am continuously drawn to investigate the cyclical nature of things, exploring life cycles and our dynamic connection with nature as humans. How we see the natural world, how we relate to it, how we identify with nature or not, are themes in my work. My aim is to craft spontaneous paintings that are distinctive, innovative, and visually compelling."
