Alyssa Neff, “Autumn Aviators” 1st runner-up for artwork

Alyssa Neff is an artist and photographer currently attending Rochester Institute of Technology for a BFA in Visual Media. While spending her days between the studios, computer labs, and chasing stories for the college magazine, she never passes up a chance to do silly shoots with friends. Her current passion is trying to catch a glimpse of the stubborn turtle hiding in the local Koi pond.
