About Allison Castillo's designs
Allison Hoffer Castillo paints from Fort Worth, Texas, where she raises three children and comes from a long line of artists. With a graphic-design background and formal art training, her work is bold and vibrant: thick colour, loose confident strokes and titles that sound like songs (Can't Stop All Your Lovin', Laced with Love, Starburst).

Which piece to choose
Her brighter canvases suit a birthday or graduation gift for a friend who loves colour; the softer pieces read well as a sympathy or encouragement gift. The matching Bible verse cards use the same artwork on 12 heavy cardstock cards with the recipient's name in each verse, a good add-on for a bridesmaid or teacher.
