My Story
Alyssa Reynolds (b.1992) is an artist, musician, and life coach based in Madison Wisconsin. Their work demonstrates a balance of lifelong creativity and spiritual practice. Combining their love of life, nature, and the ethereal Alyssa creates with the intention of bringing joy and contemplation to those who witness their crafts.
​
Since 2018 Reynolds has shared their artwork throughout southern Wisconsin hotspots, festivals, and venues. Their philosophy of sharing their work has always been focused on community values and economical pricing. Alyssa believes that everyone deserves to experience beautiful art and the monetary option to place that art in their homes.
​
Alyssa’s paintings embody the balance between the earthly and the celestial; and explores themes of consciousness, the environment, and the psychedelic experience. Thousands of dots litter each canvas to accent shape, color, flow, and movement in a style they have named nouveau pointillism. Vibrant neon, hyperreflective features, and glowing accents make Reynolds’ work multidimensional and a chameleon of their environment. Their works reveal different elements of themselves based on lighting or lack thereof.
These abstract images are a manifestation of countless hours of reflection and study; so the artist encourages the viewer to look deeply and find meaning unique to themselves. “Take what you need” and embrace the fun, playful, mindful, intentional coincidence of their work.
