Coastal, whimsical, and a little bit dreamy

Hi, I’m Alyssa, the painter behind ALR Designs. My work is inspired by the quiet magic of Cape Cod: pastel skies, sparkling water, beach roses, and the everyday charm of sunrise walks and shell hunts. I paint in watercolor with soft layers and metallic accents to echo how light plays on the shore.

I sell originals and prints online and in shops across the Cape, local events, and at the Artist Shanties in the summer.

My mission: to bring calming coastal joy into everyday spaces. Art that feels serene, welcoming, and giftable.
