2024 In Review
As 2024 comes to a close, I wanted to take a moment to reflect on the incredible year I’ve had and share some exciting updates with you. This year has been filled with change, growth, and new opportunities, and I’m excited to continue the journey in 2025.
2024: A Year of Change and Milestones
For those of you who are new to my work or may have missed some of my previous updates, welcome! I’m Allison Bryant, a professional pencil artist. Over the past year, I’ve made some big changes—not just in my art, but in my life as well.
The most significant transition of the year was our move from Twin Falls, Idaho, to Garden City, Missouri. While I’m settling into my new home and community, I do find myself missing the wonderful clients and supporters I had in Idaho. It was in Twin Falls that my art career began to take shape, and the encouragement I received during those early years will always hold a special place in my heart. I’m so grateful for the people who helped me get to where I am today.
On the professional front, I reached a major milestone this year: completing 30 commissions! It’s been a thrilling journey to see my artwork resonate with so many people, and I’m incredibly thankful for every commission and every person who has supported my work. Watching my art evolve and connect with others is what drives me, and I’m so excited for the next chapter.
New Opportunities in Missouri
I’m also pleased to announce that my art is now being showcased at Artisan's Corner on Wall, a local artist’s shop in downtown Harrisonville, Missouri. This is a huge honor, and I’m excited to be part of a community that celebrates creativity and supports local artists. If you’re in the area, I invite you to stop by and see my work in person!
Additionally, my artwork continues to be available at Canyon Rim Crafts in Twin Falls, which recently moved to a new location at 124 Main Ave N, Suite 104. It’s wonderful to maintain that connection to my roots while also expanding my presence here in Missouri.
Looking Forward to 2025: New Adventures and Growth
As we move into 2025, I’m excited for what’s to come. One of my main goals for the new year is to immerse myself in the Kansas City art scene and start applying to galleries across Missouri, Kansas, and surrounding states. I’m also eager to participate in more art shows and events to continue connecting with new audiences in the Midwest. The opportunities are endless, and I can’t wait to see where the next chapter takes me.
The support I’ve received this year has been truly overwhelming, and I can’t thank you enough for being part of this journey. Here’s to more creativity, growth, and adventure in the year ahead!
Thank you for being part of my story. I’m looking forward to what 2025 will bring!
Wishing you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
With gratitude,
Allison Bryant
