Alissa Branch is a visual and theatrical artist whose work straddles the boundary between the ephemeral and the grounded, the spoken and the seen. Alissa draws deeply from the worlds of performance, storytelling, and domestic memory to create layered, acrylic mixed media pieces that invite both contemplation and reimagination. Alissa’s recent work centers on imagery of winged women and windswept landscapes—archetypes of freedom, transformation, and untamed grace. Her compositions contain the footprints of language, embedding poetry, numbers, Shakespearean fragments, and song lyrics, creating visual whispers embedded in the imagery. These elements serve as quiet provocations, nudging the viewer to reconsider the stories we inherit, the roles we play, and the myths we carry. A self-described word-nerd and lifelong lover of literature, Alissa's paintings bridge her passions for text and texture, crafting visual experiences that are as much about what is felt as what is seen. In her hands, the canvas becomes a page, a stage, a wind-blown letter—open to interpretation, and endlessly in motion. Wild women, scraps of song, echoes of old tales. Art that feels like memory—or maybe a dream you almost remember.
