about

alisonjaya@me.com  
Alison Mosher is an artist specializing in oil painting. She often combines cyanotype, beading, and fibers with her painted works. She draws inspiration from childhood photographs and the human figure to explore memory and lived experience. Her work focuses on exploring memories from childhood and reclaiming agency for herself within them.  She is interested in skeletons for their anonymity and representation of loss.  Her use of cyanotype emphasizes the haziness of recollection as well as how memories and people imprint on us. She aims to show the many layers of loss experienced with memory and recollection and how those losses are always present either as people or moments in a graveyard-like collection.

Mosher is a senior Painting BFA and Art History minor at Philadelphia’s Tyler School of Art. Her work has been included in various exhibitions including Huntington Arts Council’s Exploration of the Human Form and Chicago Sculpture International’s Alive. Upcoming shows include Chicago’s Madron Gallery’s System and Dialectics of Art, and her solo senior thesis show, The Moments We Keep, at Tyler School of Art, both in spring 2024.
