biography Alissa Mittl received her BA in Studio Art and Art History from Florida State University. She has apprenticed for artists Sue Tirrell and Julie Guyot, and received fellowships to attend workshops at both Anderson Ranch Arts Center and Penland School of Craft. Inspired by folk artists of the American southwest and expressionist painters including Kirchner, Matisse, and Gauguin, her work interprets local flora and fauna in a unique, rhythmic style.
Originally from southwest Florida, her work has shown both locally and nationally. Mittl completed two terms as a Ceramic Artist in Residence at the Mendocino Art Center in August 2018. She then spent a year teaching and making artwork as a long-term Resident Artist at the Taos Clay Studio in New Mexico. After spending five years in New Mexico, Mittl moved to San Francisco, California in 2023 where she now works as the Co-Head of Studio at Clayroom San Mateo. |
