About

American artist Alissa Goble was born in 2004 in Hickory, North Carolina. After a childhood spent enjoying art, she began her career at 18 when she started her formal education at Appalachian State University. Through her studies, she investigates metalsmithing and fibers. Her work is deeply rooted in her childhood memories, pulling inspiration from childhood photos, adventure with her family, and her memories. Her memories permeate her art, giving it 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.
