Alison Watt

                Alison Watt is most known for her paintings of fabric.  Her paintings are incredibly realistic and do not even look like a painting but rather they look like photographs of the actual fabric.  Most of her paintings are of white linens arranged in some sort of bunch or knot.  Her accomplishments have been recognized by her peers and in 2008 she was one of the youngest artists to have a solo exhibit at a gallery in London.  She also paints portraits and has painted portraits for the Royal Family including the Queen. 
Some of her artwork in included below.
