Alyssa SkyesBorn into a family of thirteen children, I spent my early years traveling with nomadic parents across Central and South America and beyond. This wild and colorful upbringing exposed me to the beauty of life's contrasts-its comforts and discomforts, walth and poverty, and the variety of experiences this world brings. This fluidity helped shape my creative spirit and ability to find inspiration in impermanence. --For over 15 years, I've blended an entrepreneurial drive with a passion for the arts, establishing myself as a professional photographer, editor, painter, and poet. I find it hard to limit myself to any artistic medium and love working with acrylic, watercolor, gouache, mixed media, collage, photography, hand-coloring, and, of course, poetry and creative writing! Creativity is my constant companion, and I am endlessly curious, exploring varied topics and perspectives. My work is deeply influenced by the fleeting nature of life and the resilience required to navigate it. --As a mother of three, I seek to inspire others to uncover the extraordinary in the everyday. Whether through art or writing, my goal is to transform inspiration into something tangible, sharing it with others to encourage a life filled with diverse and profound experiences that lead to the growth of all we can be. --Thank you for taking the time to read this.
