French & Howson is a celebration of life's tiny wonders, captured with big-hearted artistry and a wink.

Self Portraits

  Self-portraiture is a significant artistic practice that explores the representation of the artist's identity, evolving from ancient times to contemporary expressions like selfies. Self-portraiture can act as a therapeutic tool for many artists, facilitating a sacred space for emotional exploration and processing. This practice—much like meditation—demands complete attention and engagement, allowing individuals to immerse themselves in the task at hand.


Through her current body of work, Alison uses self-portraits to create playful lino prints in blue and neon pink inks, thoughtfully providing an escape from the sociological convention of face. Her initial self-portraiture technique combines a physical tracing of the subject without preconception.
