Alison Kendall is In The Make

Lesters c0-founder Alison Kendall is featured on the blog, In The Make, which profiles artists at work. Read about her process, what she's reading and listening to, and how she's evolved from biologist to painter.

An excerpt from the post:
"Her studio is set up almost like a well-curated curiosity shop, and even though everything is arranged just so there is a naturalness to it that made me immediately feel at home. Nothing looks fussy or too precious, instead her perfectly placed objects appear beloved, well-worn, and storied. There are a great deal of vintage measuring instruments about, particularly rulers (both metal and wooden), and rusting but still colorful tin boxes in a corner. There are lots of drawers and cubbies full of collage cut-outs, and glass bell jars that house solitary objects that somehow appeared more rare and spectacular beneath their domes. Groupings of stacked books are here and there, showcasing Alison’s interests with titles such as Daughters of the Earth, Art Forms from the Ocean and The Pioneer Spirit."
