Allison Rietta

Allison Rietta (b. 1969) lives and works in Toronto, Canada. She is an abstract painter,
working predominately in watercolours and acrylics. Her paintings and collages explore
mystic geometry, symbols and patterns. Her work is informed by her 25+ years as a graphic designer, and her spiritual practice of meditation and sound healing. Allison grew up in Toronto, Canada, and has lived and worked in Germany, Italy, and the UK. She has exhibited in solo and group shows in Toronto, New York and London UK. Three of her abstract watercolour paintings were featured in British Vogue’s ‘Vogue Gallery’ print issues March, April and May 2022. Allison was longlisted for the Jackson’s Painting Prize UK two years in a row, and most recently has been shortlisted for the Visual Art Open 2023 UK and International Emerging Artist Award. The Holbrook Danville has exclusively acquired Allison’s artwork for their new 42-room boutique hotel in Danville’s Old West End District, VA, USA.
