For our summer exhibition Marla Allison presents paintings created in her Laguna Pueblo studio alongside canvases painted during a four week artist residency at the Bristol Museum & Art Gallery in May of this year.

As a Native artist from the American southwest Marla Allison draws on her Laguna and Hopi ancestry. Her acrylic paintings reference traditional pottery designs, historic photographs, the natural world and contemporary culture.
