Alyssa B. is a 24 year old oil painter based in the PNW. Living in the redwoods she spent her adolescence exploring nature and crafting her own world. She has been an artist for most of her life but has only been painting since 2019. She uses mostly oils and occasionally acrylic and digital art. Alyssa has received no art education and is entirely self taught. She is heavily influenced by Pre Raphaelite art as well as artists from today such as Nicoletta Ceccoli, Mark Ryden and Margaret Keane. She combines her love for dolls with a touch of fantasy and childlike wonder. Her mission is to express what is too harsh to say out loud through her art in an attempt to relive the years lost to trauma and exposed to violence.
