"There is one thing one has to have: either a soul that is cheerful by nature, or a soul made cheerful by work, love, art, and knowledge."
-Friedrich Nietzsche 

Hello there! My name is Alissa Breakiron and I am an Ohio native, artist and designer. In 2014 I received my BFA at Columbus College of Art & Design in Columbus Ohio studying Illustration as my major with a concentration in Fine Arts. Columbus has been my home for nearly 8 years and I don’t see myself leaving anytime soon. Currently I have a shared studio space in the downtown area where I continue my art practice that mainly focuses on design, freelance, and my newest hobby, candle making. My dream is to have a small shop of my own to sell my hand-poured, natural candles while also selling my artwork. The artwork that you’ll see on my site showcases my illustrative and design skills, and I do hope to update more candle creations soon. There are a lot of markets and art sales in the area and I’ll be updating my webpage for the locations I’ll be selling! Stay tuned…
