Allison Prior - Canadian Artist

There are artists—and then there are visionaries. Allison Prior is both.

As one of the core creative forces behind our Canadian Women’s Spotlight Project through WEC Online Magazine, Allison didn’t just contribute her art—she poured her soul into honouring our WEC women through powerful, personal, and unforgettable portraits. Her work gave our tribute project its visual voice—adding depth, beauty, and emotion to every story we told.

I’ve had the privilege of not only honouring Allison as one of our featured Canadians, but also working alongside her for one of our renowned Canadian projects. Her artistry captured the essence of each woman we celebrated—drawing out their strength, their stories, and their light in a way that words alone could never do.

Allison is more than an artist. She is a woman of grace, authenticity, and purpose. Her brushstrokes carry compassion. Her creativity has helped us spotlight women across the country. And her unwavering commitment to her craft and community continues to leave a legacy in the Canadian arts landscape.

This profile is not just a thank-you—it is an honour. A celebration of a woman who has used her gift to uplift others.

From the Tonya Zee Community:
