Allison Bullock

"On my Easel"

During the summer, Allison Bullock was working on a series of collages and shares: 

I've always found collage challenging, but these came together nicely. Turn of the century portraits are fascinating; I always find myself wondering about the people in the photos, and then I decided to put those people into unusual situations. The results have been surreal and slightly odd..."

Allison is at Studio #15 on the tour with her mother, Diana Bullock and grandmother, Grace MacPherson.

Grace MacPherson

Grace MacPherson is part of a family of three generations of artists that are members of the Stouffville Studio Tour.  In her late 80’s she is a prolific artist who still enjoys painting in watercolours.

She has always been interested in the creative arts and pursued her interest in watercolour painting since her retirement from the business world. Grace attended workshops with many prominent artists through the Elderhostel program, classes at the Haliburton School of Fine Art, and the Loyalist College, Bridgewater Retreat.
