Drawing from the visual traditions of Medieval, Renaissance, and Pre-Raphaelite art, Alisa infuses her pieces with a sense of historical depth while utilising cutting-edge digital tools.
Alisa Smith Williams is a digital artist based in central Virginia, USA, whose richly evocative work blends classical inspiration with modern techniques. Her art delves into themes of nature, mythology, and fairytale, creating a visual world that feels both timeless and contemporary.
Her creative process begins with generative AI imagery, produced using custom-trained models she has developed and refined over several years. These initial images serve as a foundation for deeper artistic exploration.
From there, Alisa meticulously edits and enhances the work through a range of techniques, including overlays, digital collage, filters, and compositing. She often incorporates textures and elements drawn from her own photography and previous digital projects, resulting in art that is both layered and deeply personal.
Her work has gained international recognition. She recently illustrated a collector’s edition of Alice in Wonderland for Imaginarium Books in the UK and has designed book covers for authors across Europe and Central America. Her artwork is also set to appear on the covers of three upcoming summer issues of the British Journal of Psychiatry. In addition to these accomplishments, Alisa has been featured in various podcasts, blogs, and online publications.
