I’m an illustrator, baked goods consumer, cat hugger and tea drinker, living in Seattle, WA.

Alisa is a freelance illustrator, primarily working with watercolors. She loves plants and flowers which reflect in her beautiful watercolor illustrations.

Check out her YouTube channel where she has over 50K followers with videos about Art Supply Haul + More!, Creating big illustration || Watercolor drawing “GREENHOUSE” or other water color art videos!
