NH - Manchester

Erin recently moved from Indiana to start a new adventure here in Manchester with their husband, Donnie, and two fur babies, Benson and Mildred. After receiving her bachelor's degrees in Computer Graphics Technology and Animation from Purdue University, she has spent her days growing as a freelance illustrator and working as a comic artist on an unreleased title. When not illustrating, you will find Erin crafting, adventuring with her pups, playing video games, board gaming with her husband, or playing Dungeons and Dragons / watching anime with their friends. She is immensely grateful to be able to live their dream as being a nerdy artist for a living and spreading the joy of painting at Muse!

Alyssa has been drawing and painting her entire life. As a girl her parents and friends always encouraged her creativity and her passion for the visual arts blossomed every year. This passion lead Alyssa to further her education at the New Hampshire Institute of Art, graduating with a Bachelor of Fine Arts, with a focus in Illustration. Alyssa is a huge fan of comics and graphic novels having read many manga and comics growing up. Stories and illustrations inspire her and someday she hopes to be a graphic novelist or children's book illustrator. Alyssa loves sharing her knowledge and love of the arts with everyone; she wants people to know art is not definable and mistakes are never a problem. Her high school art teacher would always say "artists are problem solvers" and it is a statement Alyssa likes to live by. Alyssa works freelance out of her studio at home and has an Etsy shop. She also works at an art studio in Nashua painting everyday. Other artists that inspire Alyssa are Salvador Dali, David Wiesner and Niki de Saint Phalle among many. Being a full time artist brings Alyssa nothing but joy.

Kailey first got into drawing back in middle school when she watched an anime called Naruto. Fascinated by the animation style she taught herself how to mimic it, especially her favorite manga artists Miura, Ji-Hyung Song, Kubo, and Kishimoto. After a time people that she knew would ask her to tutor them in the anime style, which she found to be very fun and interactive. Kailey's mother, seeing her daughter doing so well (in both tutoring and independently) decided to buy her a drawing tablet (her first one!) so that she could continue to better herself. Although she learned very quickly, Kailey soon realized that she could only learn so much on her own and really wanted to learn how to branch out and draw other styles. That was when she signed up for the New Hampshire Institute of Art where she now majors in Illustration and minors in Graphic Novel. Because of her schooling, Kailey has become rather proficient in using acrylic, watercolor, and gauche as well as various dry medias (though being particularly fond of graphite, charcoal, and acrylic). She loves bold, bright colors and extreme shading; she still incorporates this into her anime style as well as some new styles she picked up along the way.

Carrie has been interested in all things artistic for as long as she can remember. Growing up she enjoyed following along with television art programs such as The Secret City Adventures with Mark Kistler, The Nature World of Captain Bob, and of course Bob Ross. In high school Carrie discovered her love for baking and when she isn't painting or drawing she loves to create edible art using buttercream and fondant. In addition to all things artsy, a few of her favorite things include spending time with her fianc?, their two cats, drinking coffee, and reading like books are going out of style. Carrie loves being a Muse artist and helping people to embrace their creative side.
