Marla Allison is a contemporary painter from Laguna Pueblo, NM. She has been inspired from various art styles by works of Pablo Picasso, M.C. Escher, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Gustav Klimt, Yayoi Kusama, Jenny Holzer, and Hopi and Laguna Pueblo pottery designs.
"My work is the creation of aesthetically pleasing objects of adornment for the discerning individual with non-traditional materials and fabrication technique utilizing evolving technology, equipment, and software. My designs reflect an influence of a modern traditional lifestyle, both on and off the reservation." —Pat Pruitt
