Her works are perfect additions to bring life and colour to a space. Her works explore moments of life she is driven to capture. Having evolved from abstract work to now works inspired by landscapes, still life and recently a the female body, Alana explores important moments and loves of life, looking at the simple beauties and capturing them to remind all viewers of these beautiful elements of our world. For as long as she can remember, Alana has been creating art, teaching art, and always learning along the way. However, it is in the past four years that she has truly embraced her identity as an artist. The joyfully therapeutic feels of her intuitive practice and the overwhelming pride and privilege to share the beauty of her art with art lovers and new collectors, has motivated her to continue creating as an artist in these recent years. You may have seen her work featured locally.

Painting life in a vivid display of layered paint and oil paint sticks, Alana’s works embody a unique style that is entirely her own. Her intuitive practice flows across her creations, regardless of the subject, resulting in pieces full of luscious textures, fun lines, and delightful elements that draw viewers into the layers' intricate details. Each piece tells a unique story, connecting on a personal level. Alana paints with the intention of seeking joy and creating beauty that enhances happiness, leading to an instinctive, emotion-driven process. This approach results in mixed media works, incorporating textas, soft pastels, paint, impasto, and oil sticks. Playfulness is fundamental to her art. Her most recent works, expected to be showcased in this year's Open Studios, explore capturing memories in local Australian landscapes and include a series of nude figure works celebrating the beauty, pride, and power of the female form.
