The Friends of the Arts, Inc. and Orange Beach Art Center's Visiting Artist Series continues with Birmingham artist Allison Puccetti Adams April 30-June 10. In this exhibit, Allison explores the fluidity of light and movement of a moment particularly evident where sand and water meet. She employs the palette knife, brushes and sometimes her hands to translate light's ephemeral nature.

Realtor's Association and past President of Baldwin Co. TREASURE Forrest Association. She served on the Montgomery Museum of Art Masters Board and is currently a member of Mountain Brook Junior Women 100, the Mountain Brook Art Association and paints weekly with the Highland Artists.

In her spare time, Allison authored Birmingham Sketchbook which contains regional artists' work of the city of Birmingham and includes her train station rendering. She is the author/ illustrator of Southern XYZ's, Alabama Edition and A Gathering of Angels. She has toured with the Tallulah Tour of Southern Women Writers based in Pensacola, FL. To top it off she is a Mom and part owner of Crestline Seafood Company.
