Allison McKeen is a primarily self-taught interdisciplinary artist based in Maine.

Her process is fueled by the anticipation of surprise. Each modification is contingent on the last while informing the next. She creates bold and textured block printed designs that explore themes of familiarity as well as spontaneity. Her work explores multiplicity and individualism through shape, pattern, and color.

Allison particularly enjoys the interaction of different media including block printing, painting, and stitching. Her work often employs found materials such as thrifted fabric and pages from antique books.
