Alissa Siegal

Alissa Siegal is a figurative oil painter living and working in Stamford Connecticut. Her work is about light, color, and the energy in objects and spaces. She uses detailed drawing and gestural paint application to explore representation, chaos, and order.
Her paintings are in private and corporate collections throughout the United States and in Europe, including at Stamford Hospital, Yale New Haven Hospital’s Park Avenue Medical Center, and Sacred Heart University. She earned her BFA from the Rhode Island School of Design, including a year spent studying in Rome, and an MFA in painting from the Graduate School of Figurative Art at the New York Academy of Art, where she also trained in Forensic Sculpture. She has exhibited her art across the country and in Europe, taught art to children and adults for many years, executed numerous commissioned portraits and murals, and been featured in television specials on her art. You can see her painted signal boxes around Stamford, and her paintings on set in the Gerard Butler/Jennifer Aniston movie “The Bounty Hunter”, and “Something Borrowed” with Kate Hudson and Ginnifer Goodwin.
