Alyssa Mees Trautz is a graphic designer, painter, and illustrator based in Southern California. With almost 20 years of creating visual art, she has drawn inspiration from her fascination with animals, nature, and street art. She strives to learn, explore, and grow with each piece she creates. Alyssa is currently a Trekell Pro Team Artist and enjoys giving presentations and talking about art with other creatives.
Alyssa comes from a creative family of painters, a tattoo artist, a baker, and a musician. She began to embrace art late in her high school years when her favorite teacher encouraged her to keep painting.
She works as a full-time graphic designer/brand manager and paints in the evenings and on the weekends. When she isn’t working, Alyssa enjoys cooking, eating, and spending time with her husband, daughter, and dogs.
