Alisha Persaud

I capture visceral feelings and experiences through the visual arts and words to convey my mind. In other words, Art is a mode of expression for me, as it is for many others. My only uniqueness comes from the mental in which this work is derived from.​ In the words of Dr. Kay Redfield Jamison, I live "touched with fire".

​

My art is an emblem to my mind, a signature to my thoughts, and an ode to my feelings. If it is a drawing of a room filled with people, or a photo of a landscape on a clear, blue-sky day, it came from a moment that caused too great an itch not to share it.

​

It is greatly important to me that my work is felt more than otherwise sensed, and it is of my life's goals to create art that gets closer and closer to making that wish true.

​

I will always be trying to find a trend amongst my work's purpose, a theme other than a goal. For the time being, the most forward I can be about it is: It can always be graded on a spectrum of emotional intensity.

​

Choosing to combine all of my creative skills into projects, I currently present my work through painting, photographing, drawing, and writing.
