Self-taught artist across a wide variety of mediums

With her passion for art beginning at a young age, Alyssa Lowiec, 23, is an Arkansas native & self-taught artist across a wide variety of mediums. She takes her inspiration from National Geographic Society, National Audubon Society, getting out & enjoying the natural beauty of North Eastern Arkansas & watching episodes of The Joy of Painting with Bob Ross. Making art has always been a vehicle for expressing herself & a creative outlet to break away from the mundane.

Presently, her favorite mediums to use are gouache, colored pencil & acrylic in a surrealist style. Her main focuses are the flora & fauna of the world, including species that are at risk of endangerment. She draws the viewer in with her bold use of color, depth, & contrast, & enjoys capturing the unique charisma & spirit of each animal she portrays. She created her page Illusory Imprint in June 2020 as a way to display her artwork. Go to @IllusoryImprint to see more of her work!
