Alaina Mahoney

 

Alaina Mahoney was born in Brockton, Massachusetts next to a one square-mile woods, where she discovered the intricacies of the organic environment.  When she braved the city's landscape, similar forms revealed themselves in the penetrating layers of repainted signs and haphazardly repaired antique stores.  Her works depict figures interacting with spaces, but in the costumes, backgrounds, and compositions of her paintings she harnesses pieces of the overwhelming process that resides in Brockton's unadulterated surfaces.  Alaina Mahoney works and lives in Boston.
