Alyssa Stokes (www.alyssastokes.blogspot.com) is a Baltimore artist and art educator. She earned both her BFA and Masters in Art Teaching at MICA (2007) and believes her work in the community inspires and informs her fine art. Although she is a dedicated and life long Baltimorean, she loves to explore new territory. Her previous work has focused on documenting communities and allowed her to travel from Central America to Eastern Europe. Her more recent work explores woodland and nautical landscapes, using a variety of altered photo techniques.
