At Play
Alyse Mercey began painting in 2018. One year later, in 2019, she moved from Ontario to PEI, where she took up a regular art practice. Her paintings are a way to capture ordinary, everyday life and emphasize the little things. Her studio process leverages play to address this theme and satisfy her curiosity. “At Play” celebrates ideas brought to fruition through a variety of techniques and mediums that have helped her develop her skill and style without any formal training.
