Transforming the mundane.
Alyssa Smith is a French-American Artist. She now resides in Traverse City. She gathers her inspiration primarily from the various landscapes she has encountered throughout life and experience farming. This is coupled with the complex inter-weavings of the mind. Her work is ever seeking the connections between these physical and spiritual worlds - our landscapes offering portals to older wisdom. In a world moving too fast, her paintings offer a practice of observation - not of the thing itself but of what it makes you feel. We know what it looks like, but what does it do to you? Nature and our relationship to it presenting a springboard from which we learn of our own story and cycles of life.
