Alessandra Gavin is a surface designer based on the South Shore of Massachusetts. After a decade working as a graphic designer, she left the corporate world to pursue her passion for painting full-time. At the start of the pandemic, Alessandra committed to painting every day—transforming her art from a hobby into a thriving career.

Represented by TSB & Co., Alessandra now fulfills her dream of creating artwork for products.
