Alisha is a gifted artist and author whose creative journey has been deeply influenced by her love for writing, rhyme, and the enchantment of childhood stories. Her artistic path has been marked by a passion for storytelling that began at a remarkably young age.

Born and raised in the vibrant state of New York, Alisha's early aptitude for writing was evident when, at just 10 years old, she had her first piece published after winning a local writing competition. This early success set the stage for a lifelong dedication to creative expression.

Today, Alisha resides in the picturesque surroundings of Guatemala with her spouse and son, embracing a life filled with adventure and discovery. As a mother, she cherishes the joys of parenthood and the boundless curiosity that children bring to the world. Her interests extend to culinary delights, nature exploration, family adventures to new places, and a relentless pursuit of knowledge.

A pivotal influence in Alisha's journey as a writer and artist is her father, who nurtured her literary aspirations by encouraging her to read and write from a young age. One of her most treasured possessions is a remarkable collection of over 200 leather-bound classics, a gift from her father during her childhood. Among these literary gems, Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland" holds a special place, resonating with her curious nature and igniting her imagination.

Alisha's creative endeavors are brought to life through her whimsical watercolor art style, which she skillfully infuses into her book series, notably "Trevor the Mouse." Through her art and storytelling, she aims to inspire and engage her readers, evoking a sense of wonder, possibility, hope, acceptance, authenticity, and love.

Her dedication to sparking imagination and nurturing a love for the arts is reflected in her favorite quotes, such as "Know thyself" from the Delphic maxims, and the enchanting dialogue from "Alice in Wonderland" that explores the essence of identity and transformation. The Cheshire Cat's wise words, "Not all who wander are lost," resonate deeply with Alisha's belief in the importance of exploration and self-discovery.

Alisha invites readers and art enthusiasts to connect with her on social media platforms, where she shares her creative journey and engages with a community of like-minded individuals who appreciate the magic of storytelling and artistic expression.

In her heart, Alisha hopes that her work kindles a spark of inspiration, fosters a sense of wonder, and encourages a love for the arts in those who engage with her creations. Through her books, art, and heartfelt words, she invites readers to embark on imaginative journeys, reminding them that, like Alice in Wonderland, they too can find themselves in the midst of a wondrous adventure.
