History

Alysia was born on July 8, 1985 and was raised in Berlin New Jersey. Strongly encouraged by her parents she, at a young age, she exhibited an outstanding ability and interest in art.

She attended Eastern High School, in Voorhees NJ, where she was a participant in Art Honor Society and also helped to create a large scale student mural that is still on display at the high school.

Alysia then enrolled in the University of the Arts where she was awarded the presidential scholarship. While a senior at UArts, one of Alysia's illustration pieces titled "Eyebrow Problem" was accepted and exhibited in the Society of Illustrators Student Competition show in New York City.

Also while studying at UArts, Alysia established Art By Alysia as the business she is continuing to develop to the present day. Her first professional piece, in 2004, was a mural of a hawaiian scene in an office in South Jersey. This led to the creation of several more murals in homes that very same year.

Alysia's work can now be found in businesses and homes in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, Washington DC, Maryland, Ohio, and California.
