HUNTER VALLEY & NEWCASTLE BASED
LIVE PORTRAIT ARTIST
& SIGN PAINTER
ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE MYSELF
I'M Alisha
Whether I’m painting live portraits, wedding stationery or business signage, my soul comes alive when I hit something deeper- when my work becomes part of your story.
That’s the magic I live for.
My work is
...focused on painting unique pieces - the old-school way. With you at the core.
BEING AN ARTIST WASN'T JUST A
childhood dream-
It’s been in my blood since the moment I first picked up a paintbrush.
​
A creative at heart, I earned a Life Drawing scholarship in high school, which led me to pursue a degree in Fine Arts. In 2015, I founded Ink & Snow, specialising in hand-painted signage for weddings and businesses.
​
After hosting my first Live Portrait session in 2020, I expanded my offerings to include live illustration— an experience that’s led me to work with amazing brands like Fayt and Westfield, charities including Stronger Together and Hunter Breast Cancer, and capture moments for hundreds of wonderful wedding guests.
NOW, WITH A DECADE OF EXPERIENCE, MY WORK REMAINS GROUNDED IN THE
timeless art of hand-painting.
