Alisha Ripatti

   Alisha Ripatti, a very talented Santa Cruz 

County local artist/musician, became obsessed 

with drawing in the 2nd grade. 

  "I would study animals and the way they 

moved for what seemed like hours. Later in high 

school I would stay up until 2 am searching for 

artist who's style I admired." 

  Alisha has always been drawn to surrealism 

and particulary artist with morbid undertones. 

  "I became fixated on skeletons and skulls in 

particular. They have a purely asthetic feel."

  Aside from being an amazing artist, Alisha 

is an incredible guitarist and guitar teacher. 

If you are interested in guitar lessons or want
