The Prophet by Allison Daniell

Opens: August 1st, 2025 5-9 pm
Artist Talk: August 21st, 5:30 pm
On Exhibit through August 29th
Allison Daniell is a Tennessee native who just passed her 20-year mark as a Colorado Springs-ian. Allison received her BFA from Austin Peay State University in 2004 and has been doing solo exhibits since then. Locally, she has shown at Poor Richard's Gallery, Kreuser Gallery, Auric Gallery, COPPeR gallery, and Surface Gallery in both solo and group exhibits. She makes her living as a commercial photographer, but her personal art is what she lives for. Since she spends the majority of time making work on behalf of clients for business purposes, the topics Allison longs to tackle in her personal work are more of a spiritual nature: What does it mean to be human? What makes a life worth living? How do we move through the inevitable suffering we will face? What does the physical world we can see tell us about the spiritual world we cannot see?
This show in particular draws inspiration from artists long gone such as Klimt and Mucha, as well as spiritual thinkers who are still with us like Richard Rohr and Douglas Coupland. This piece is her most ambitious undertaking to date, due to the size of the piece (especially compared to how tall she is!) and the complexity of materials and techniques.
