shape, and texture, in all of her pieces. She enjoys experimenting with
assorted production techniques and tries to find new combinations that

a new line of pet products and gift items consisting of portraits,
cards and photography, entitled "Paws for Thought".
"My art has
evolved many times in a variety of mediums. My newest venturre involves
alcohol inks. I love the vivid colors and the reaction of the inks when
they combine. They take on a life of their own and are quite
serandipitous. The outcome is similar to watercolours but can be painted
on many different substrates. I use these inks a lot for pet portrait
backgrounds.”
Alcohol Inks, a fairly recent form of art medium
was recognized as a scrapbooking tool, but is now utilized in fine art.
Alene teaches workshops in order to introduce this unique form of paint
to others who are not familiar with it's impromptu properties.
“In
my photographs, my fondness of dogs combined with color usage,
technology, and design have allowed me to explore this outlet to
illustrate the emotion and devotion that animals possess. My pet
portraits strive to portray the character of the subject’s personality.”
Alene's work has been highlighted in publications such as “The
Crafts Report”, “Art Calendar” cover, Boston Globe, The Nashua
Telegraph, The Hollis Brookline Joiurnal, The Lowell Sun, Funeria “Art
Honors Life”, Polymer Cafe magazine and an HGTV segment on “That’s
Clever”. Her work appears in galleries, catalogs and gift shops
throughout the USA. Selected works are showcased in several polititian
and celebrity homes.
