About ALyssa

Alyssa Yeager is a contemporary artist and design director based in New York City.
Since earning her BFA in Graphic Design from Temple University’s Tyler School of Art, she has cultivated a multidisciplinary practice spanning editorial design, brand identity, and fine art. Her visual work centers on emotional manifestation through improvisational painting and drawing, allowing feeling to emerge in physical form through both gesture and material. She is drawn to the tension between the deliberate and the impulsive, the expected and the unexpected, and the interplay of masculine and feminine energies.

Recently, Alyssa has expanded her practice into immersive installation and conceptual narrative, using spatial storytelling, scent, sound, and AI collaboration to investigate intimacy, media saturation, and parasocial desire. These immersive works extend her longstanding interest in emotional manifestation, transforming internal states into multisensory environments. She uses AI as a collaborator, not a mimic — never to clone another artist’s style or replace human authorship. Herwork advocates for licensed datasets, creator consent, and revenue-sharing models that protect artistic rights while enabling innovation.

Alyssa has lived in Brooklyn and Queens for two decades, and her work is shaped by the layered visual language of New York City — from street art and found textures to the rhythm of urban life. She draws inspiration from the physicality and improvisation of Abstract Expressionists like Helen Frankenthaler, Adolph Gottlieb, and Cy Twombly, as well as the bold color and structure of the Washington Color School. Her dual background in art and design also informs her connection to artists who blur the boundaries between high and low culture, including Andy Warhol, Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Takashi Murakami — all of whom use visual density, repetition, and cultural iconography to challenge norms and reframe meaning. Carolee Schneemann’s visceral, body-centered work further influences Alyssa’s interest in the relationship between gesture, emotion, and feminist critique.
