Allison Fischer. Artist. Shutterbug. Bookworm. Retired Girl Scout. Post Modern Modernist.
Biography:
Allison was born in Gainesville, Florida in 1985. Her parents are pretty cool, though (thankfully) no longer together. She has a younger brother who is brilliant in all sense of the word. Her first ambition was to be an artist. Her second a Mom, much to the chagrin of feminists everywhere. She is currently pursuing both, but the Mom thing is proving to be a little difficult as she is currently single. Allison would like me to add by “actively pursuing becoming a Mom” she means losing weight so she can eventually get pregnant years into the future. She dropped out of high school in 2003, the year she would have graduated. Most of this was due to her parent’s separation, the rest due to a stubborn refusal of taking physical education a second time. She took two years to “find herself”, realized she kind of sucked, and got her GED in 2005. She graduated with her A.A. in Studio Art from Santa Fe College in 2010 while working part time at the University of Florida’s Digital Library Center. She is currently employed there full time while attending Savannah College of Art and Design and earning her Bachelor of Arts in Photography. Upon interview, her imaginary friend said “Allison is very witty, quirky, and creative! She doesn’t give herself enough credit, she’s gorgeous. She’s modest and humble, especially for someone with as much talent as she possess. I’ve never seen eyes quite like hers before! She’s definitely an extremely interesting individual. How many girls like beer, video games and action movies? Allison’s truly amazing. She’s a great friend, she’ll be there for you through the hard times, and she’ll make sure to show you a fantastic time when things are good!” He asked to remain anonymous, as no one can see him anyway. “I’m kind of used to it by now,” he says.
