Alyse Mercey
Artist and illustrator based in Ottawa, Canada
Hi! I'm Alyse.
I'm a 20-something year old with who loves trying new creative mediums. My work is inspired by colour, texture, and inanimate objects that would certainly look adorable if they had a face.
​
Besides making art, I also love crochet, teaching yoga, drinking coffee, reading books, writing stories, and cuddling cats.
​
I'm constantly expanding my practice as a way to channel my inner child and bring bursts of magic into my life. A sense of inner peace and genuine joy is all I ask from my practice - anything and everything else is just a bonus that I'm incredibly grateful for.
