When it comes to spell-binding uses of color, look no further than San Antonio native and fine artist, Allison Gregory. From the time she first picked up a paintbrush at age five, she has brought every space to life while bringing more happiness with her vivid and plentiful use of color in her artwork. Various side projects have involved partnering with several companies all over the world that specialize in reproducing art for luxury home accessories. From high-end glassware, coffee table bowls, animal figurines, shower curtains, iPhones, and iPads, her art is everywhere.
