Drifting Through Suburbia

 Works exploring the emotional landscape between belonging and becoming.

Drifting Through Suburbia explores my summers at home in the Chicago suburbs.

It is a place filled with precious memories, the love of family, and quiet pockets of natural beauty. But it is also where I returned to during transitional periods of adulthood – moments when I felt uncertain about my future. 

These paintings are homages to those moments. They hold both the peace, tenderness, and beauty of the landscapes around me and the conflicting emotions I carried through them.

Glade Print (LEFT)
$40.00

16 × 20” (41 × 51 cm)

Printed on sturdy, matte paper with rich color reproduction

Vibrant colors sweep across this diptych in rhythmic, flowing movement, reflecting the rediscovery of beauty and vitality within familiar everyday spaces. 

“I could genuinely stare at Alyssa's work for hours… The Glade series has a beautifully cohesive color palette that I am absolutely enamored with. It's amazing how both prints complement each other, yet each has its own distinct personality and charm. They're vibrant, expressive, and instantly become the focal point of any room.

The prints themselves are excellent quality, with high definition on smooth, matte paper. You can even see the texture of each brushstroke and the subtle details where the canvas peeks through, giving the print depth and making it feel original.”
