Digital Arts Workshop: Alyssa Lempesis

Alyssa Lempesis is an Oakland-based artist who uses strange and innovative materials to create mysterious sculptures and animations inspired by our internal and external ecosystems. Her work merges the natural and the fantastic to create animated scenes of a world that exists somewhere between the unknown and the familiar, the present and the future.

Alyssa Lempesis received an MFA from University of California at Davis (2014) and a BA at University of California at Berkeley (2012). She is an artist and educator living and working in the East Bay. Recent solo exhibitions include Aggregate Space (Oakland), Diablo Valley College (Pleasant Hill), The Building Imagination Center at CSU Stanislaus (Turlock) and Alter Space Gallery (SF) as part of the Jail Cell Residency Program. In addition, Lempesis has participated in group shows at The Lab (SF), Root Division (SF), Pro Arts Gallery (Oakland), and Gregory Kondos Gallery at Sacramento City College (Sacramento).
