About

Alison Pilon Nokes (b. 1987, Hartford, Connecticut) received an M.F.A. in painting from The Savannah College of Art and Design in 2020. She received a M. Ed in art education from Lesley University in 2012 and a B.A. in art history and studio art from Bowdoin College in 2009, through the course of which she studied in Rome, Italy. Today, Nokes paints abstracted imagery derived from her everyday life. Her works are bright, energetic images that are formed as she processes what it is like to be in her world. Nokes’s work was featured in the West Hartford Art League’s juried Emerging Artists Exhibition in 2015. Her largest solo exhibition to date, Everyday Whimsy, took place in December 2019 at Austin’s Motion Media Arts Center. After four years living in Austin, Texas, Nokes returned to the northeast in August 2021 to teach at The Harvey School in Katonah, New York.
