That intent carries through her client work, from Khruangbin concert posters and editorial commissions for Vanity Fair and The New Yorker to a commemorative portrait of John Coltrane for the Burchfield Penney Art Center’s jazz festival. Beyond editorial and music projects, her work has appeared across Buffalo metro buses for Black History Month, as well as on a two-storey mural in her hometown.</p>\n<p>Explore more of Monet Alyssa’s
