Alison Van Pelt (September 16, 1963) is an American painter, who works in a photo-realistic style, making blurry-looking oil painting portraits. She has painted animals, but also celebrities like William S. Burroughs, Bruce Springsteen, Georgia O'Keeffe and Frida Kahlo. Van Pelt was also once active as a yoga teacher (1970-1999). [1]
Frank Zappa
Van Pelt has painted portraits of Frank Zappa [2], Gail Zappa [3] and Diva Zappa [4],. Some of her artworks were part of the Zappa Estate [5], but have been auctioned after Gail Zappa's death.
Van Pelt is mentioned and thanked in the liner notes of The Yellow Shark [6] (however, in the 2012 re-release of the album her name was inexplicably removed).
