Allison Edge creates dreamy, photograph-based paintings, lingering in nostalgia, often depicting memories of family travels, encounters with the natural world, and other documented occasions of 1970s and 80s Americana.  She features animals, landscapes, and plants, as well as man-made structures that can simultaneously capture our wonder and apprehension.  Her style is realism, as if through a soft-focus lens, sometimes in hard candy tints, and other times in dark shadows.  The images offer an indulgence into memories and dreamscapes.

Edge grew up in Charlotte, NC.  She received her BFA in Painting from the University of Georgia and MFA from UNC-Greensboro.  She moved to New York City to pursue her career as an artist and lived in Brooklyn for 19 years.  During those two decades Edge assisted several international artists, including Jeff Koons, Roxy Paine, and Aaron Young.  She relocated to the Black Mountains of North Carolina in 2019. Allison Edge’s works have been exhibited at Lincart and Fouladi Projects in San Francisco, Motel in Portland, OR, and various NYC venues, including Like the Spice, Leo Kesting, and Field Projects, as well as in London and Tokyo.  She has been included in numerous international art fairs. Images of her work have been published in two hardcover art books, Architectural Digest, Town & Country, The Washington Post, and the biographies of Tory Burch and Sir John Richardson.
