Alyssa Scott is a bilingual and francophone Canadian visual artist and educator based in Montréal, Québec. She was born in Edmonton, Alberta and in her youth, her family moved around Canada multiple times before settling near Kingston, where she lived for thirteen years. 

Alyssa attended Queen’s University, where she studied Fine Art from 2015 to 2019, with a focus on printmaking and painting. Subsequently, she completed her Bachelor of Education with a concentration in the Artist in Community Education program at Queen’s University in 2020. Following her studies at Queen’s University, Alyssa pursued her Master of Fine Arts at the University of Regina, specializing in printmaking, sculpture, video, and installation, and earning her degree in 2022.

Currently residing in Montréal, Alyssa works in several fields of practice, including installation, printmaking, sculpture, media art, and multidisciplinary art. Through her practice, she explores the tension between permanence and ephemerality, while reflecting on rootedness and displacement, the concept of home, and the ambiguous borders between the rural and the urban. She is particularly interested in the cyclical and transformative aspects of nature, contrasting them with human activity, and exploring the renewal and evolution of built structures.

Alyssa’s works are collected nationally, and her recent exhibition includes an installation displayed at Modern Fuel in Kingston, Ontario, in the fall of 2024.
