Art by Alyssa

Alyssa, pronounced uh-LEE-suh, started Art by Alyssa in 2010 after graduating with a degree in illustration from Montserrat College of Art in 2007. While working at a stationery gift shop, the owner of the shop encouraged Alyssa to hang her paintings for sale, which ended up setting her on the path of eventually starting her own business. Alyssa has worked in small gift shops since the age of 16 and gained a natural interest in gift products. After selling her oil paintings she began experimenting with reproducing her paintings on different items to sell. Soon Alyssa was busy running the gift shop and selling her products at work and local craft fairs. By January of 2011 she made the decision to pursue Art by Alyssa full time. Now Art by Alyssa products are sold in independent boutiques that reach as far as Tokyo, Japan, museum gift shops, and multiple Audubons! After living and working in Massachusetts for many years, Alyssa and her family now live and run the business in New Hampshire.
