Regina Allen
Regina Allen was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. She holds an MFA degree in Painting from Northwestern University and a BA degree in English Literature from Washington University. Herwork combines imagery of women and children pulled from various sources with textile and wallpaper designs from the last 300 years. After transforming textile patterns into abstracted landscapes, she weaves reoccurring favorite shapes and images into them, and incorporates figurative elements, which are usually line drawings. These works are provocative and seductive, as they take something decorative and beautiful on the surface and make them more complex and a little discomforting. Regina lives in Los Angeles.
