Unlike many artists, Alicia’s art career began later in life. It wasn’t until she was gifted a watercolor set by her daughter on her 51st birthday that she realized her love for painting. From that day forward she has devoted herself to learning all she can and developing her creative skills.
Looking back, there were several clues that hinted at her creative talent. One of Alicia’s favorite classes in school was art class; in middle school fellow students would pay her a quarter to draw pictures on their folders! Most importantly, God started giving Alicia pictures in the form of visions and dreams from as early as she can remember. Both of her grandmothers were naturally crafty; one wrote poems, designed jewelry and crocheted, while the other played the piano, sang and painted. Realizing that an aptitude for creativity is part of her generational inheritance, Alicia has fully embraced the path of a fine artist.
