Artist’s Bio Alison Syer was a Visual Arts major at Cawthra Park Secondary School, graduating in 2001. From there, she attended two years of university study in Environmental and Resource Management. As interesting as this was, she missed artistic endeavours, and so in 2005, she took 2 sessions of Acrylics painting classes at Springbank Arts Centre, and also participated in her first group exhibition, with the White Oaks Art Group, held at Riverwood, the home of Visual Arts Mississauga. She successfully completed the Art Fundamentals (Illustration stream) Certificate program at Sheridan College in 2006-07, and completed, with honours, the Crafts and Design program at Sheridan in the spring of 2010, with a studio concentration in textiles.
