Allyson Parsons is a renowned Australian landscape artist based in Adelaide, whose work reflects a deep connection to the Australian environment. Inspired by the natural beauty of the bush, coastline, and outback, her paintings capture light, atmosphere, and the subtle tonal shifts that define the landscape, conveying a quiet sense of stillness and place.

Allyson is predominantly self-taught, having developed her practice independently under the guidance of her mother, Marie Parsons, a former art teacher and accomplished artist who continues to paint alongside her today. The late, internationally acclaimed American realist painter Andrew Wyeth was also an influential mentor to Ally; through years of studying his approach to painting, she remains influenced by his work, evident in her composition and style.

Now, Allyson’s paintings are held in private and corporate collections across Australia and overseas.

Painting remains a shared passion within the family — Ally’s son, Henry Cockington, is emerging as one of South Australia’s most exciting landscape artists. The two share a special talent as they continue to paint together today, connected by both place and practice.
