About Alyssa

Hi! I’m Alyssa and, as a Science Communicator, I draw the natural world for people who want to learn and bring the healing powers of nature into their home and their lives. As an artist and an environmentalist, I am passionate about supporting and protecting the health and diversity of our world’s ecosystems through the use of art and education.

When you step into the quieter corners of the world and tune into the sights and sounds of nature, there is a powerful healing response as your body recalibrates. 

Along with nature, I'm equally passionate about mental health and taking the necessary actions to heal from trauma. During the hardest chapters of my life, I've found solace by retreating to the fundamental elements of human existence: nature and art.

When I lost my best friend, Michelle, to suicide in early 2020, I turned to Meditative Art to process and release heavy emotions. As I worked through my own healing process, I decided to bring this transformative exercise to other people who could use this support during trying times.
