My name is Alyssa Bean and I have a deep love for creating. I mostly paint in acrylics now-a-days but my first love is drawing in graphite and a love for watercolors. I love saturated vibrant colors and find beauty in nature and animals and all things fantasy. I have 13+ years as an artist and have done countless commissions mostly portraiture and pet portraits. I graduated with a BFA in illustration in 2015 with a focus in children's books from the former NHIA now known as New England Institute of Art and Design.
I have 5+ years of experience teaching art classes to all ages and enjoy teaching classes at Manchester Craft Market!
