Allison Newsome lives and works between Warren and Prudence Island, Rhode Island. Newsome's ceramic sculptures are in the permanent collection of The RISD Museum, the Newport Art Museum, Mobile Museum of Art, Alabama, and The Beatrice Wood Museum . Allison presently teaches "The Clay Figure" at Harvard University and the Boston Museum School for the Arts.

Allison Newsome's work addresses issues of the environment and human interaction as our landscape and human psyche have changed from the wilderness to the agrarian, into the industrial / post industrial. Allison's recent work explores fundamental, utilitarian, methods implemented on our land and water. This June Allison will be giving a 10 day workshop in France at Chateau La Napoule. For those interested, information about the course can be seen at http://www.lnaf.org/
