Alyssa is a self-taught abstract artist based in Austin, Texas. Born in Canada to East African parents of Indian descent, her work is shaped by a life spent moving between cultures, places, and seasons of change — including most recently motherhood. Working with acrylic paint, textiles, beads, stencils, and personal fabrics, she builds through layering, covering, tearing back, and rebuilding. The process mirrors life itself: messy, emotional, unfinished, and constantly evolving.
