Alissa Woodside's mixed media paintings fall under the title of Abstract Expressionism- full of texture and a loose release of paint- these paintings allow for story-telling within the canvas.
Alissa’s active paintings reflects her desire of exploration; by involving a layering process of mixed media she’s able to transform an image from her mind, to a reality of matter. Her work has continued to be about memory with emphasis on time and space. The recollection of a memory is an investigation of senses within one self. In painting, Alissa intends to pursue the range which perception requires while constructing a memory; bringing to the surface, flashes and fades of washed out colors, shapes and represented symbols.
