Alison Hamil is a mural artist in Atlanta, Georgia. Most of her work incorporates bold colors combined with elements of painterly realism and uplifting quotes and phrases. Alison’s style is most recognizable for her signature sunburst pattern seen in the background of many of her murals. Nature is also a common theme in her work, as well as interconnectivity and spirituality.

Hamil has been awarded several public art commissions from the City of Atlanta, the City of Brookhaven, and the City of Roswell, Georgia. She has also painted murals in various places across the globe including Nicoya, Costa Rica, and Kefalonia, Greece.
