Alison Croney Moses is a Boston-based artist who creates wooden objects that reach out to your senses—the smell of cedar, the glowing color of honey, the round form that signifies safety and warmth, the gentle curve that beckons to be touched.
Born and raised in North Carolina (USA) by Guyanese parents, making clothing, food, furniture, and art are embedded in her memories of childhood. She carries these values and habits into adulthood and parenting—creating experiences, conversations, and educational programs that cultivate the current and next generation of artists and leaders in art and craft. Her work is in the collections at Fuller Craft Museum, Museum of Fine Arts Boston, Museum of Fine Arts Houston, and Renwick Gallery of the Smithsonian American Art Museum. She is a recipient of the 2025 James & Audrey Foster Prize at the Institute of Contemporary Art/ Boston, 2022 USA Fellowship in Craft, the 2023 Boston Artadia Award, a finalist of the 2024 LOEWE FOUNDATION Craft Prize, and the recipient of the 2024 Black Mountain College International Artist Prize. Her work has been featured in American Craft Magazine, the book Joinery, Joist and Gender: A History of Woodworking for the 21st Century, and Boston Art Review. She was recently named one of the 2023 WBUR 10 Makers. Alison’s first solo show in the fall of 2023 was reviewed in the Boston Globe. Alison holds an MA in Sustainable Business & Communities from Goddard College, and a BFA in Furniture Design from Rhode Island School of Design.
