About

American artist Alissa Goble was born in 2004 in Hickory, North Carolina. After a childhood spent enjoying art and exploring different mediums, she began her career at 18 when she started her formal education at Appalachian State University. Through her studies, she investigates various mediums metalsmithing, printmaking, fibers, painting, and drawing. Her work is deeply rooted in her childhood memories, pulling inspiration from childhood toys, adventures with her family, and her endless time exploring the natural surroundings of her childhood home. Her memories permeate her art, giving them a sense of nostalgia and exploration. She uses art as a way to connect to her childhood and reminisce on the memories she holds. For that reason, her work has been characterized as playful, yet intricate. She plans to complete her undergraduate BFA degree in May 2026 and then continue to graduate school.
