After graduation, Chapman registered her own business and started sub-contracting herself out using her father’s woodworking shop. Instead of just paint stripping and sanding for him, she put her newfound skills to disassemble, repair, paint strip, sand, stain, finish and re-assemble various furniture items. She also builds items from scratch.
Allison Chapman creates wooden mosaics in her free time. Her inspiration comes from what she sees and likes in the world around her. - Contributed To work on her pieces, Chapman says she sources the chemical materials, such as lacquers, stains, and paint strippers, from a company in Halifax. The wood she uses to build with or that she uses in her art is a combination of rough lumber bought from local mills. Occasionally, she will get it from the hardware store or use recycled wood.
In the future, Chapman says she would like to continue doing what she is doing when it comes to her business.
