Welcome to a new year! I love this time of year, for its reflection on what has been, and for its promise of things to come. I wish you all peace, happiness, and prosperity, and that your year includes some time for quiet contemplation.

Trained in ecology and science, Alison Pouliot has been exploring and photographing the natural environment for more than 20 years. She is fascinated with the design, diversity and connectedness of living things. Her background has provided her with the ideal framework to seek and understand the subjects of her photography.

In 2003, Alison was commissioned to provide images for the book “Gariwerd: Reflecting on the Grampians”. Three years and 33 trips to the Grampians later, the book has been published and was launched by former Victorian Governor, John Landy. For further information on the book please visit: http://www.gariwerd.com.

She is also a gifted musician.
