Eternal by Alysha Marko, 2024
16 × 12 Inches
Oil on Canvas
Born in Central Jersey, Alysha Grace Marko is an NYC-based painter and the owner of AMRM Gallery. Growing up, Alysha was always involved in art: singing, dancing, and theatre. Moving around constantly in her childhood, Alysha grew to love the adventure of being on the go and meeting new people all the time. Alysha went to the University of Massachusetts Amherst and later graduated from Seton Hall University with a degree in psychology.
After graduating, Alysha pursued her successful acting and modeling career in Los Angeles, appearing in Elle and Playboy Magazine as well as numerous films, television, and theatre productions. It was in L.A. where she found her love of painting. With her background in psychology, painting became a form of archetypal psychoanalysis of society and self-reflection. She continued her studies in New York, taking courses at the Arts Student League while working for The Switzer Group, an architectural interior design firm.
In 2019, Alysha Marko founded UEast75 Gallery, now AMRM Gallery, marrying her love of art and her love of meeting new people, especially artists. Alysha’s works combine the surreal with the figurative world, creating emotional pieces with her strokes of oil paint. Her works are in collections all over the world, including in Italy and Brazil. “For me, painting is an adventure full of self-discovery… and I love getting messy!” says the artist in her paint-covered tank top dress.
