About Me

My name is Alyssa and I am a painter currently living in Richmond, Virginia. I earned my BFA in painting from the University of Florida in 2015. I currently have a studio at Art Works in the Manchester neighborhood of Richmond, and regularly submit work to their monthly all media juried shows. I primarily work in oils but I also love watercolor and gouache!

52/100 • watercolor in my sketchbook • waking up and seeing this headline today chilled me to the bone. This is not normal. It is not ok. The free press is vital to any democracy. #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2020 #alyssadoes100days

50/100 • watercolor & marker • purple hyacinths for sorrow. Was going to post about embroidery or whatever but my heart is too heavy and it didn’t feel right. It is way past time to confront and tear down white supremacy in this country. #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2020 #alyssadoes100days #blacklivesmatter

49/100 • embroidery kit! • the last couple days I’ve been teaching myself embroidery with the help of some embroidery kits that I received for my birthday way back in March.

47/100 • marker on paper • wasn’t thrilled with part of the drawing so I simply cut it out. Happy accident- now I love this way more than I loved the initial drawing/idea! #the100dayproject #the100dayproject2020 #alyssadoes100days #sketchbook #drawing #selfportrait
