My name is Alison Ashbourne and I am a surface pattern designer from the Hunter Valley of New South Wales. I live with my husband Brad, and our two adult children on a beautiful green acre in the bush with our chickens, goats, and golden retriever puppies, Kevin and Rowan. We love spending time together in our garden, lounging in the shade of tall gums and watching wild ducks visiting our dam. It’s heaven! I grew up surrounded by gorgeous fabrics, handmade clothes and quilts, crochet rugs and hand-carved woodwork. My love of all things colour, pattern and creativity naturally evolved into surface design and I’ve been obsessed ever since. I spend my days living a quiet but intentional life, gathering inspiration, sketching, and creating intricate, flowing designs. I describe my work as vibrant, detailed, and bold. Traditional with a modern twist!
