Meet Alyssa:

Hey guys, Alyssa here, and that handsome guy in the photo next to me is my husband Micah. He is not only my best friend, but my biggest supporter and encourager. I know for a fact I wouldn't be where I am today without this guy pushing me along. The little guy running at full speed is the cutest member of Alyssa Long Designs, and he is well on his way to creating art just like his mama-his preferred medium right now is crayons and paper, but he’s dabbling in some mixed media forms that also include stickers.

Micah and I met in college and married when we graduated. We currently live in Birmingham Alabama with our son, and have one pup named Mr. Bingley. When I don't have a brush in my hand you can usually find me drinking excessive amounts of coffee, reading, or squeezing in a nap whenever I can. In our free time, we love traveling to new places, being outdoors, and finding the best places to eat really great tacos.

Alyssa Long Designs was born at our dining room table. I don’t have any formal training, other than a few art classes in high school. I actually have a degree in psychology/ counseling. I joke that I get to use my degree everyday, but no one pays me for it. After much encouragement from my friends and family, I opened my online shop doors to the public in March of 2016. I've been creating and selling art since then, but I've been cultivating my love for the craft since I was a kid.

I enjoy painting so much, but most of all I love the freedom my work gives me to focus on what is truly important in life: spending time with my family, friends, and working in our church.

The Goal:

One of the greatest joys in life are memories. I love looking back on a great day and having something tangible that reminds me of the joy I felt. Making memories looks different for everyone. For some people, I'm sure it makes you think of the holidays and traditions you share with family. Maybe it's the day you bought your very first home. For others, it might be an awesome vacation you saved for, and finally got to splurge and go! Or maybe it’s that magical day you said I do, at your dream venue.

The thing I love about art is that it has the power to capture those moments, those memories, and transport us back to that joy. I’m on a mission to preserve your memories, forever in beautiful watercolor art.

I look forward to creating something you’ll treasure forever!
