Alley Kocinski is a Loveland, CO based oil painter. Her current work uses textured brushstrokes and vibrant color to explore how we experience the world around us, and the beauty and power of being present despite an increasingly fast-paced and digital world.

 

Alley is a third generation artist and has been creating her whole life. She grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, attended college in Orlando, Florida, and moved to Colorado in 2021 with her now husband.

 

As someone who struggles with anxiety, she is often inspired by places and moments that make her feel most grounded and peaceful, and she strives to capture the magic of being present in those moments.

 

She lives in Loveland, Colorado with her husband and their dog, Macchiato, and when she is not painting she likes being outdoors, reading, and enjoying restaurants and coffee shops.

​

Alley is an associate member of American Women Artists and an exhibiting member of Thompson Valley Art League.
