ARTIST BIO
Alissa Leigh, a self-taught, contemporary, abstract painter, resides with her husband and two sons in Bedford, New York. Her artistic journey began as a young girl as she was influenced by her mothers style and creativity. Alissa’s energetic paintings are inspired by her upbringing as well her passion for color, photography and the time she spends in her gardens. Using mainly acrylic paints, she also incorporates oils, pastels and collage elements in her designs. Through her distinct use of color, gesture and a visual language that is recognizably her own, her paintings become powerful focal points in the spaces they inhabit. Her style and design concepts are constantly evolving as she learns new techniques and discovers new inspirations for her color palettes and compositions. Alissa enjoys being a part of the vibrant local artist community and is a passionate supporter of the Arts. She is a member at various Art Guilds and loves attending local gallery openings and connecting with other creators and art enthusiasts.
