who is OUSHIES ART?

Hello my name is ALYSHA

I am an emerging artist, who studied in Toronto at OCAD University, earning a BFA in Drawing and Painting. Working with the theme of sustainability as an artist has challenged the way I approach creation.  In my artistic practice, I weave together the threads of feminism and environmental consciousness, crafting a narrative of resilience and empowerment through recycled materials. Although I do work with many mediums including oil and acrylic paint, I’m drawn to the tactile quality of fabrics and fibers. Each piece I create is not only a celebration of creativity but also a statement of solidarity with the feminist movement and a commitment to sustainability.

By repurposing discarded materials, I challenge the notion of disposability that pervades our consumer culture, advocating for a more mindful approach to consumption and waste. As I continue to work within a sustainable mindset, I hope to evoke others to consider the ways they can live sustainably.
