Alyse Mercey

Artist and illustrator based in Canada

Hi! I'm Alyse.

I'm 26 years old and make art in my two bedroom apartment turned art studio that I share with my partner.

Upon graduating from university in 2019, I moved to PEI where I established myself as a professional artist. A couple of years later, in the fall of 2021, we relocated to Ottawa, ON. 

Besides making art, I also love 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.
