Alisa Wilhelm is concerned with the female presence. After strug-gling to mimic a male perspective, she realized that as a woman, she has a perspective that is inherently different from a male, and she should exaggerate that. Her current work explores sexual undertones between men and women, shows relational interactions between men and women, and shows the presence of a female.
Alisa grew up in rural Illinois, and she moved to southern Arizona when she was in middle school. Her family hosted exchange students from Brazil, Germany, Japan, Finland, and Ghana, her younger sister is adopted from India, and she has lived in China. These strong multi-cultural influences give her a unique world-view that adds another layer of dialogue to her work.
