Born in Fort Riley, Kansas and raised in Indianapolis, Indiana,  Alyssa Dyke is currently majoring in both Art + Design and Biology at Butler University.  Having  experienced many media in her high school art classes, and now her college studio classes, Alyssa has worked with many materials, from ceramics to sustainable materials, however, acrylic paint, watercolor, graphite, and chalk pastel are most often used in her works. 

 

The exploration of the female experience encompasses many themes of Alyssa’s work; ​their faces and bodies appear regularly.  These appearances are often given very vibrant scenes, creating narrative story lines without the need for text or written word.

 

In context with exploration, the universe, space in particular, provides a fair amount of inspiration for Alyssa’s work as well.  Space is constantly changing, much like people, which leads audiences to expect new, developing work from Alyssa as new discoveries are made throughout the world, and within people themselves.

           

Alyssa has had work in both juried and non-juried exhibitions all centrally located in Indianapolis, including Tiny at Gallery 924, Nottingham Forest and Grey Gardens at the Harrison Center of the Arts, Revolution and Fables, Fairytales and Physics at the Schrott Center of the Arts, and Art Now on Butler University’s campus.
