Alyssa Stevens is a name you should absolutely familiarize yourself with, and today, we're going to dive into why. Using the digital realm to self-reflect, connect with her inner child, and show us an extension of her perspective on life, we can see the passion in her work that has already caught the eye of the scouts from OpenSea marketplace and NFT NYC.
Going with the Flow
After being launched on the landing page of the largest NFT marketplace, OpenSea, her works quickly gained traction causing all of the pieces she had at that time to sell out. Her success did not stop there. Shortly after, she was chosen to be a featured artist for the largest NFT event taking place in New York City; NFT NYC. Connecting with her inner roots and letting her creative juices flow uninterrupted has brought her recognition and success. She quickly took this as a sign from the universe to make this her full-time occupation and it's been serving her well. It can be scary taking the leap from being a part of the 9-5 work schedule to full-time artist.

Inspirations and Upcoming Works
"Just love each other and all will be well." A quote from Alyssa's grandmother has been the approach she's taken to live ever since she was little. Drawing inspiration from her childhood is what drives the strokes she puts down on the canvas. The pain, beauty, and innocence of her childhood are recurring themes in her works from the Interconnected Planes collection. When feeling as though her creative well has run dry; The Little Prince and The Alchemist books realign her and her aspirations.
Although her new NFT collection Realms of Reflection has the same inspiration behind it as Interconnected Planes did; it is more about growth and gratitude for her journey through life to where she is now. This collection just recently dropped on May 18th so be sure to check out her pieces if you are interested in becoming an owner.
