Allison Wickey

Local artist, Allison Wickey, has lived and painted on 30A in the Blue Mountain Beach area since 200. Allison grew up in Belleville, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. Always on the creative side she didn’t fully embrace her talent until in college and skipped around to a few different schools before finally graduating from Columbia College in Chicago in 1997.

In 2000 she left Chicago, moved back to Belleville and started a business specializing in faux finish and mural painting. After seven years of painting for people in their homes, getting married and having two kids she relocated with her family to 30A.They came for the beauty of the beach but stay for the soul of this unbelievable, haunting , hidden slice of heaven we now call home.

Once settled on 30A she was ready to create again but this time wanted to paint for ‘herself’ and gathered her favorite media from the faux finish days, venetian plaster and glazes and began to experiment on wooden ‘frames’.
